Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Elizabeth A. Sellars investigates genetic factors contributing to human developmental disorders. Her research focuses on identifying deleterious, protein-altering variants in genes associated with phenotypes such as intellectual disability, mesomelic dysplasia, horseshoe kidney, epileptic encephalopathy, and neurodevelopmental delay. Recent publications detail variants in the AFF3 and ZMYM3 genes, as well as a novel pathogenic variant in the tumor protein p63 gene associated with Ankyloblepharon-ectodermal defects-cleft lip/palate syndrome.

Sellars also contributes to the implementation of pharmacogenomics testing, examining experiences at Arkansas Children’s Hospital. Her work includes reviews of phenotypic and genetic data from multidisciplinary clinics, such as those focusing on craniofacial microsomia. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 17, with 38 publications and 1,378 total citations. She collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Kevin Bielamowicz, Pritmohinder S. Gill, Jason Farrar, and Feliciano Yu.
