Michael Wangler Lab Projects

Genetic Mechanisms of undiagnosed diseases (Undiagnosed Diseases Network and Community Texome Project)

• MRTFB : (Andrews et al. Genet Med. 2023) PostDoc in the Lab pursued novel neurodevelopmental disease with Drosophila model.
• EZH1 : (Jangam S et al. Genetics. 2023) Genetics and Genomics grad student Kristy Jay and Technician Sharayu Jangam found a human mutation in a UDN case that causes homeotic phenotypes in the fly. 
• RBBP5 : (Jay KL et al. In revision, Genetics in Medicine, 2023) Genetics and Genomics grad student Kristy Jay identified growth defects in fly brain related to a UDN case with a RBBP5 variant.
• Autism screening project : (Marcogliese PC et al.,Cell Rep., 2022) PostDocs and students participated in a team effort to screen autism candidate genes in fly.
