ASIA-PACIFIC GENOMIC AND GENETIC NURSING CENTRE
The Centre is currently conducting an ongoing study aiming to explore novel genetic variations found in children with autism. So far, we have collected blood samples from 22 autistic children from 17 families. Genetic analyses are being conducted using the DNA extracted from these samples, and nine of the samples have already been analysed.
Our collaborative research project with PolyU, which aims to examine how brain structures vary with age, is also in progress. Currently, the brain images obtained from 111 participants through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are being analysed, while saliva samples from these participants are being collected to extract DNA for genetic analyses. These findings will enable us to examine the potential correlation between the participants’ genes and brain morphology.
