Child disability:understanding determinants and improving outcomes

我研究的总体目标是：更多地了解发育障碍的原因，这样我们就可以预防它们的发生，或者开发出有效的治疗方法；通过建立和维持登记以及开展国际合作，提高对罕见遗传疾病的认识、诊断和管理；并调查罕见和常见的发育障碍对患病儿童及其家庭的健康和生活质量的影响。

The overall goals of my research are: to learn more about the causes of developmental disorders so that we can either prevent them occurring, or develop effective treatments for them; to improve the understanding, diagnosis and management of rare genetic disorders by developing and maintaining registers and by collaborating internationally; and to investigate the impact of rare and common developmental disorders on the health and quality of life of the affected child and their family.
