I'm Chris!!  Come meet me and find out truely incredible I am !Christopher A. Walsh, MD, PhD
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center
Harvard Institutes of Medicine
Boston, Massachusetts

Dr. Walsh's laboratory is involved in searching for genes responsible for septo-optic dysplasia combined with a brain malformation called schizencephaly. Finding such a gene or genes will help us to learn more about the process of brain development as well as identifying a specific cause of this condition.

To participate in our research, we would request medical records and a blood sample from the family member(s) with SOD/schizencephaly in addition to a blood sample from each parent.

If you are interested in learning more about our research, please contact Brenda Barry (617-667-8035) and Jennifer Partlow (617-667-8044) or email them at walshlab@bidmc.harvard.edu.
