Unravelling the genetics of the cerebral palsies

This on-demand webinar features a recorded presentation by Dr. Clare Van Eyk, delivered at the 48th Human Genetics Society of Australasia (HGSA) Meeting held in Sydney. As co-lead of the Cerebral Palsy Research Group at the University of Adelaide, Dr. Van Eyk shares pioneering research into the genomic complexity of cerebral palsy (CP), drawing on data from the Australian Cerebral Palsy Biobank (ACPB).

Dr. Van Eyk’s team is applying multiomics —including exome- whole-genome sequencing, together with transcriptomics and methylation profiling—to characterise the heterogeneous genomic architecture of CP in a well-characterised clinical cohort.

The presentation also highlights a new initiative from Dr. Van Eyk’s team that combines early clinical diagnosis with early genomic testing—marking an important step toward advancing precision medicine in neurodevelopmental care.

This session is ideal for clinicians, researchers, and professionals interested in the evolving role of genomics in CP diagnosis and management. Available to stream on demand.
