My current research is to identify genetics defects (mutation, chromosomal abnormalities) involved in intellectual disability and multiple congenital malformations in Rwandan population. I am also interested in variability of facial dymorphism in African populations. In addition , I am interested in bioinformatic and genetic variability leading to non-communicable disease in African populations.
