Kim L. McBride's research focuses on the genetics of congenital heart defects, particularly bicuspid aortic valve disease, and its overlap with connective tissue disorders like Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and osteogenesis imperfecta. The work combines clinical genetics, genomics (identifying rare gene variants and chromosomal copy number changes), and cardiac imaging to understand inherited heart and vascular conditions, including rare metabolic and genetic syndromes. This research aims to improve diagnosis and genetic counseling for patients with congenital and structural heart disease.
