Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Sandy Raeburn"
- Sandy Raeburn's research primarily focuses on the genetic underpinnings of various diseases, particularly in the Omani population, examining conditions such as maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY), hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), and primary congenital glaucoma.
- A significant finding includes the absence of common Caucasian gene mutations in young Omani diabetes patients, indicating a unique genetic landscape, and identifying a new gene mutation linked to hereditary spastic paraplegia in a specific Omani family.
- Raeburn has also explored tumorigenesis pathways in colorectal cancer by investigating microsatellite instability and mismatched repair mechanisms in Omani subjects, contributing valuable insights to the understanding of cancer biology in diverse populations.
