CdLS Introduction (Continued)
CdLS Introduction (Continued)
A thorough introduction to Cornelia de Lange Syndrome.
Our experts will introduce:
Genetic causes and molecular mechanisms in CdLS
To understand the reason why people get CdLS we will be introduced into the Genes and even more specific parts of the genes. What about a next child, will it also get CdLS?
Why can‘t we cure CdLS?
What will the future bring? As we understand more and more about the genes...
Meet our experts
We have done our best to invite those from around the world to give you the insights you hope for. Professors, teachers, experienced parents and siblings will discuss the topics for the best quality of life possible. Our motto; TOGETHER!

Professor of Functional Genetics and Human Genetics, Institute of Human Genetics, University of Lübeck, Germany
Since 2013, he has been Professor of Functional Genetics and Human Genetics at the Institute of Human Genetics at the University of Lübeck. In addition to genetic and functional analysis in the field of cohesinopathies (like Cornelia de Lange syndrome), the research of his research group focuses on molecular mechanisms in the area of genetic disorders and hereditary diseases.
He studied biology at the Ruhr-University Bochum. In his doctorate and postdoctoral studies at the Institute of Human Genetics in Essen, he performed functional analysis of the transcription factor TRPS1.
Member of the Scientific Advisory Council of the CdLS World Federation.
