Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Chana Vinkler"
- Chana Vinkler's recent research focuses on the genetic aspects of various health conditions, including cancer susceptibility, inherited hearing loss, and genetic syndromes, particularly within the Israeli population, showcasing significant findings on founder pathogenic variants and their implications on cancer risk assessment.
- Her investigations into hearing loss have identified novel genes such as ATP11A and ATOH1, underscoring the genetic diversity and unique pathogenic variants in Israeli Jewish communities, as well as dominant hearing loss gene associations.
- Vinkler's studies also encompass prenatal assessments, revealing notable correlations between congenital conditions like clubfoot and clinically significant chromosomal anomalies, thereby contributing valuable insights to genetic counseling and testing practices.
