Career Interviews
Inside HGG Advances: A Chat with Jonathan Marquez
Posted By: HGG Advances HGGA: What motivated you to start working on this project? JM: From the perspective of developmental biology and physiology, I found it fascinating that a gene important for mitochondrial complex IV function could be deleted in its entirety. Yet, more important for me was the opportunity to help a family arrive... Read More
Inside AJHG: A Chat with Alistair Pagnamenta
Posted By: Kylee Spencer, PhD, Assistant Editor, AJHG KS: What motivated you to start working on this project? AP: I‘ve had an interest in structural variants (SVs) ever since working on microdeletions identified in array data from the Autism Genomes Project. Now that large clinical genome sequencing datasets are available via the 100k Genomes Project,... Read More
Inside HGG Advances: A Chat with Rachel Oh
Posted By: HGG Advances HGGA: What motivated you to start working on this project? RO: Accurate variant interpretation is essential to both genome diagnostics and screening in medical genetics. Canonical splice site variants (CSSVs) are considered “null variants” (in the same category as nonsense, frameshift, initiation codon, single or multi-exon deletion variants) in a gene... Read More
Inside HGG Advances: A Chat with Diptavo Dutta
Posted By: HGG Advances HGGA: What motivated you to start working on this project? DD: The scientific motivation of this work was to investigate, for diseases, whether there are tissues beyond the obvious candidates where genes might manifest associations, and if so, can we interpret such findings from an etiologic viewpoint. The statistical method is... Read More
