Medical Genetics BranchThe Medical Genetics Branch (MGB) seeks to identify and understand disorders of human development. MGB investigators focus on human genetics, vertebrate embryology, inborn errors of metabolism, and neurogenetic disorders; these studies are conducted at the clinical, biochemical, molecular, and cell biological levels. MGB fosters outstanding basic research and serves as a model for translational research, emphasizing the compassionate and scientifically rigorous application of basic scientific discoveries at the bedside. To achieve their goals, MGB investigators use a variety of cutting-edge techniques and make use of new technological developments to ask important questions regarding human development. In addition to making extensive and intelligent use of genomic data, they routinely capitalize on partnerships with key laboratories at the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), National Institutes of Health (NIH), and worldwide. These collaborations, which have led to the acquisition of large sample sets from unique populations, have proven invaluable in advancing the mission of the Branch. In addition to its basic and clinical research, MGB serves as home to NHGRI?s studies on the genetics of special populations. Senior InvestigatorsMaximilian Muenke, M.D. William A.
