The project "Elucidation of neurogenetic diseases using homozygosity mapping and next generation sequencing technologies" benefits from the expertise of a team of scientists from the Charité and the Hebrew University. It aims to identify disease-causing gene mutations in children with neurological disorders and to investigate the relationship between the type of mutation and clinical symptoms. The project will improve counselling for families affected by rare diseases and increase knowledge about developmental disorders of the nervous system.
