Guest Lecture: From genotype to phenotype: bioresource data and longitudinal follow-up in intellectual disability

Lucy Raymond is Professor of Medical Genetics and Neurodevelopment in the Department of Medical Genetics at the University of Cambridge, and a Consultant Clinical Geneticist for Cambridge University Hospitals. She is also the assistant director of the NIHR Rare Diseases Bioresource and Director of the East of England Genomics Medicine Centre. Her research aims to identify and understand the genetic causes of intellectual disability. Her research group conducts detailed analysis of the whole DNA genome in affected families, and this has allowed them to identify novel genes that contribute to this disease. A vital new part of this is their participation in a collaborative UK initiative to analyse the genomes of 10,000 patients in unprecedented detail.
