Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Amira Masri's research focuses on the genetic basis of neurodevelopmental disorders in children, particularly in resource-limited settings. Her work utilizes advanced genomic techniques such as exome sequencing to identify novel gene variants and understand shared mechanisms underlying conditions like polymicrogyria, global developmental delay, and intellectual disability. Masri has investigated the clinical characteristics of various pediatric neurological conditions, including Dandy-Walker malformation and pseudotumor cerebri syndrome. She also examines the challenges and strategies for diagnosing genetic disorders and providing autism services in areas with limited resources. Her publications address the role of singleton whole exome sequencing in diagnosing congenital muscle dystrophies and highlight the importance of genomic approaches in understanding rare neurodevelopmental disorders. Masri has an h-index of 19 and has published 88 papers, accumulating over 1,600 citations.
