Research
The Schaaf Lab uses cutting-edge genetic techniques such as chromosome microarray analysis and whole genome sequencing approaches to identify the causes of developmental delay, intellectual disability, autism, and other neuropsychiatric disorders in pediatric patients which are further studied in animal models, with the aim at understanding the gene’s biological function and the long-term goal of identifying suitable drug targets for therapeutic intervention.
This approach has led to the identification of several novel neurodevelopmental disorders such as Schaaf-Yang syndrome, Bosch-Boonstra-Schaaf syndrome, CHRNA7 and USP7 associated disorders.
