Research interests

  • Genetic regulation of Lipoprotein(a) and genomics of the apolipoprotein(a) gene (LPA)
    • Investigation of extreme Lipoprotein(a) phenotypes
    • Mutation screening of the LPA gene locus in family and populations with extreme Lp(a) phenotypes
    • Development of approaches for mutation screening and genotyping of variants in the LPA KIV-2 copy number repeat
    • Regulatory variants in the LPA locus
  • Applications of Nanopore sequencing
  • GWAS studies and functional analysis of SNP associations
