Dr. Loydie Jerome-Majewska uses the mouse to study the genetic and cellular basis of morphogenesis during the embryonic period in her research program. Goals of her research program are to identify genes responsible for congenital malformations that increase morbidity and mortality in newborns. Next Generation sequencing and gene engineering are used to help to explain the etiology and pathophysiology of several syndromes including: 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, Cednik syndrome and the spliceosomopathies: CCMS, MFDM and Nager syndrome. Current goals are to identify factors which can be used to prevent/reduce morbidity associated with congenital malformations associated with mutations in the spliceosome.
