MD-PhD Alum Discovers Cause of Mysterious Disorder

Dr. M. Elizabeth Ross, MD, PhD, member of the Tri-Institutional MD-PhD graduating class of 1982, is a co-senior author on a recent Nature Genetics paper identifying a genetic cause for a "mosaic" disorder. This heretofore poorly understood disorder causes abnormalities in the skin, brain, and beyond. 

Dr. Ross' work, in collaboration with scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine and Fédération Hospitalo-Universitaire TRANSLAD (FHU-TRANSLAD) in Dijon, France, concentrated on a common manifestation of these disorders that affect the skin.
