Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Tiffany Lepard's research focuses on genetic counseling and the phenotypic presentation of genetic disorders, particularly in children. Her work includes studies on cardiovascular and genitourinary anomalies associated with duplications within the Williams syndrome critical region, as well as complex skeletal abnormalities in newborns. Lepard has also investigated aortic dilation in pediatric patients, exploring its relationship with genetic testing and associated diagnoses. Further research has examined advanced cardiovascular imaging in Williams syndrome and the utility of various imaging strategies.

In addition to her clinical research, Lepard has explored aspects of the genetic counseling profession itself. This includes examining the language used by genetic counselors regarding disability identification and investigating factors that influence applicant rankings in the Genetic Counseling Admissions Match. She has collaborated with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including James P. Selig, Brayden West, Melinda E. Simonson, and Lori Williamson Dean, on multiple publications.
