MADISON, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A team of researchers from leading universities in Turkey and the United States have reported that they have identified the genetic mutation responsible for the Uner Tan Syndrome (UTS) using advanced genetic capture and sequencing technologies from Roche (SWX:RO)(SWX:ROG)(Pink Sheets: RHHBY). The combined genomic technologies enabled the team of scientists to identify the causative mutation of this debilitating disease after years of mystery. The study was presented by Suleyman Gulsuner, M.D. from Bilkent University, Turkey during the European Human Genetics Conference recently held in Gothenburg, Sweden at which he was awarded the prestigious Isabelle Oberlé Award for outstanding work in the field of genetics of mental retardation.
