OverviewAI-generated summary
Sandra T. Cooper's research focuses on the genetic underpinnings of rare diseases, with a particular emphasis on diagnostic approaches and understanding variant-associated mis-splicing. Her work has contributed to identifying the genetic causes of neurodevelopmental disorders and skeletal muscle myopathies. She has published research utilizing whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and RNA studies to diagnose noncoding variants in genes such as *DMD*, and has investigated digenic inheritance patterns in skeletal muscle myopathy.
Cooper's recent publications explore the application of genomic autopsy for identifying causes of pregnancy loss and perinatal death, and the development of predictive tools like SpliceVault for variant-associated mis-splicing. Her research group collaborates with other faculty members at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Mohammed S. Orloff, Pebbles Fagan, Dina M. Jones, and Sandilyn Bullock, on shared publications. Cooper has an h-index of 48 with over 7,000 citations across 154 publications, designating her as a highly cited researcher.
