Life as a CHAMP

August 13, 2020 3:00pm Online

Speaker: Professor David Price, Stacey McPherson

Organisation: University of Edinburgh, NHS Forth Valley

A scientist and a parent of a child with a rare genetic disorder discuss the impact of chance alterations to genes that really matter.

We all have the same genes, but their details vary from person to person. Sometimes a tiny detailed genetic change can make a huge difference to how a person grows up. We shall use the example of the CHAMP1 gene to discuss how small genetic changes can have a large impact on the development of a child and what the implications of this are.
