in our recent Q&A Dr Charles Shaw-Smith and Dr Bryn Webb gave an update on their study, OA/TOF: The lost twin hypothesis . This research study looks for specific tags or modifications seen on DNA in persons with OA/TOF, and, in particular, whether the presence of a DNA modification signature in affected individuals could support the idea that a “lost twin” might be a factor in OA/TOF.
There is also a chance to get involved in the study yourself. Please contact Dr Shaw-Smith (charles.shaw-smith@nhs.net) or Dr Webb (bdwebb@wisc.edu) to find out more information.
