DENOVO: Detection and interpretation of de novo mutations and structural genomic variations in mental retardation

Applicant Joris Veltman
Funding Agency: European Research Counsil
Description: This project DENOVO will contribute significantly to resolving the genetic causes of reproductively lethal disorders such as intellectual disability, provide critical knowledge on the frequency and consequences of de novo mutations in our genome and help to establish medical genome sequencing as a routine diagnostic approach.
