HISTORY OF RESEARCH INTO MSS FROM AMSTERDAM UMC - UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD
Research into MSS is conducted in Oxford from a collaboration between Amsterdam UMC and University of Oxford. Having discovered in 2010 that an abnormality in the NFIX gene is the causative agent of Marshall-Smith Syndrome, this collaboration started in 2015.
We created a poster showing the timeline of the study and summarising in simple terms the results so far.
