Several members of the UNC Neurology Department recently presented their research at the 2026 ACMG Annual Clinical Genetics Meeting, the flagship conference of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics held March 10–14, 2026, in Baltimore. The meeting brings together clinicians, laboratorians, researchers, and trainees for scientific sessions, short courses, platform talks, and an extensive poster program showcasing advances in clinical genetics and genomics.
Poster presentations included:
- Jenna Lea, CGC, Muge Gucsavas Calikoglu, MD, Katherine Crawford, MPH, RDN, Senyene E. Hunter, MD, PhD: Combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 35 due to TRIT1 variants: Novel phenotypes and ketogenic diet utilization
- Hailey Segall, CGC, Heidi Roth, MD, MA, Hannah Noah, MD, MPH: TBK1-Related Neurodegeneration: Clinical and Genetic Variability Across a Case Series
- Sai Srihitha Dommata, BS, Emma Cardwell, BA, Stephanie N. Peck, MA, Jenna Lea, CGC, Archana Sangamanarayanan, MSN, FNP-C, Sheng-Che Hung, MD, PhD, Senyene E. Hunter, MD, PhD: Neuroimaging Analysis in Malan Syndrome: Structural Patterns and Seizure Correlates
These contributions reflect our department’s growing impact in neurogenetics and our commitment to translating emerging evidence into improved patient care.
