About the event
Researchers who were part of the team that recently published a paper entitled "De novo TRIM8 variants impair its protein localization to nuclear bodies and cause developmental delay, epilepsy, and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis” in the American Journal of Human Genetics will be giving a zoom talk to the TRIM8 syndrome patient group on November 19, 2021 at 8 AM EST (US).
This talk will be approximately 1.25 hours in length. Dr. Amar Majmundar and Dr. Simone Sanna-Cherchi will discuss their research and findings followed by a question and answer period.
