OverviewAI-generated summary

Carissa Rodriquez's research focuses on the study of rare genetic disorders, particularly those presenting with profound hypotonia in newborns. Her work investigates the molecular basis of these conditions, specifically examining mutations in genes like δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD). Rodriquez has published on a case of infant hypotonia linked to biallelic ALAD mutations, contributing to the understanding of porphyrias and their clinical manifestations in neonates.

Her publications include a case report detailing profound hypotonia in an infant with δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase deficient porphyria, with a subsequent correction. Rodriquez collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Abhay A. Shukla, T. Burrow, Hannah Barkley, and Alexis N. Roach, with whom she shares multiple publications. Her scholarly output includes three publications and an h-index of 1.
