Professor Claude Bhérer and her team are studying the genomes of founder populations and their genetic diseases
In a recent article published by the ۲ݮƵ Reporter, we learn about Claude Bhérer's journey from biological anthropology to population genetics. Following her nephew's sudden death from lactic acidosis, Bhérer delved into genetic research, uncovering prevalent hereditary diseases. Her team's systematic analysis has revealed over 100 genetic variants unique to Quebec, prompting investigations into potential therapies.
