New Funding: Research Manitoba New Investigator Grant

The group received funding ($130,000) for our new project: Identification of causal genetic variants and genes in neuromuscular disorders.

We will be using whole genome sequencing paired with gene expression information (RNA-seq) to identify pathogenic mutations in individuals affected by neuromuscular disorders.

This work is in collaboration with Drs. Patrick Frosk (Clinical Geneticist) and Britt Drögemöller (CRC in Pharamacogenomics and Precision Medicine).
