Genetic Research

JSCD scientists and doctors work in collaboration with researchers at the University of Leeds and University of Cambridge (UK) to find the gene locations of conditions such as Thalassemia, microcephaly and other disorders that are commonly found in Pakistan.

We have already located five critical genes that carry common disorders. Thanks to our work, Pakistani parents in future will be able to avail genetics counseling and find out how they can avoid passing disorders on to their unborn children.
