Dr. Schwartz is well known for his research on X-linked intellectual disability conditions, autism and split hand/split foot malformations. Recently, he has focused on applying whole exome sequencing to trios (proband plus parents) as a means to identify relevant novel sequence variants in various genetic entities.Greenwood Genetic Center 113 Gregor Mendel Circle Greenwood, SC 29646.Search for more papers by this authorGiovanni Neri, Giovanni Neri Giovanni Neri is professor and chair at the Institute of Medical Genetics, Catholic University School of Medicine in Rome, Italy.
