In a collaborative effort between Department of Clinical Medicine, Department of Biomedicine, Department of Molecular Biology, Aarhus University and Beijing Genomics Institute, ShenZhen, China we seek to find genes that cause inherited diseases in selected families. In those families where we identify a likely causal genetic variation, we establish animal disease models  to confirm the causality. Animal models will also allow us to study the pathogenesis and potential treatment.

Families with paraplegia, pulmonary hypoplasia, cerebellar ataxia, and ovarian cancer are currently being investigated.
