Genetic analysis in consanguineous families from Palestine : a focus on Cystic Fibrosis and Osteogenesis Imperfecta

Identifying disease causing mutations using Next Generation Sequencing in families originating from Palestine with an initial focus on Cystic Fibrosis and Osteogenesis Imperfecta. Consequently, carrier testing in the family members based on primer extension technology followed by realtime PCR, will be performed and implemented at the lab in the Birzeit University. In a second stage, we will investigate other genetic disorders.
