Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Diseases of Specific Organs Research, Health
Programs: In 2017, cgat continued its mission to discover the molecular genetic cause(s) of ehlers danlos syndrome - hypermobility type (eds-ht) disease. The research collaboration that cgat arranged between cgat, mit-broad institute, boston childrens hospital scientists, and a medical genetic clinical specialist who diagnoses and treats eds-ht patients is still in progress. Samples containing dna from selected patients and family members are being collected and sent to mit-broad institute for whole exome dna sequencing. Data obtained are being analyzed to identify possible suspect genetic variants that may cause eds-ht disease.
