"When I find someone like Dr. Chow whose focus is helping people ... it's a gift for people like me to be able to have labs to work with where we think we're getting closer to helping our kids." @ClementYChow @UofUGenetics @UofUHealth

A new paper from a Utah collaboration between Welt, Yandell, and @ChowLab!
🚨NEW PAPER ALERT🚨 Flies are an amazing tool for human genetics! In this new paper, we used flies to help validate DIS3 as a candidate gene for Primary Ovarian Insufficiency. https://t.co/oasE17l3Sr
