Espinosa, Joaquin MGalbraith, Matthew DHead, ElizabethRachubinski, Angela Lynn

Summary

People with Down syndrome display increased risk of developing diverse co-occurring conditions, but the mechanisms driving this unique clinical profile are yet to be defined. This project will develop a biobanking research infrastructure that could support a wide range of investigations by a multidisciplinary team of researchers through the collection of diverse biospecimens using harmonized protocols. These activities will greatly accelerate the pace of discoveries benefiting persons with Down syndrome.
