Research summary
AI-generated

Erin Conboy studies the genetic causes of rare and undiagnosed diseases, using DNA and genome sequencing to identify the specific gene variants responsible for a patient's condition. Much of this work focuses on neurodevelopmental disorders, metabolic and mitochondrial conditions, and previously undescribed syndromes, often confirming how a given variant disrupts a protein or biological process. The research also touches on the ethics and patient-support aspects of rare disease diagnosis.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
