This web page was produced as an assignment for Genetics 564 at UW-Madison Spring 2015.
Thank you for viewing my site!
My name is Jaclyn Kotlarek, and I am a senior genetics major at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Genetics 564 is a unique capstone opportunity to dive into a specific genetic disorder. I was able to follow my interests in craniofacial development and associated disease by learning more about 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. Much to my surprise, there was a lot of learn but even more is still unknown. 22q11.2 deletion syndrome in a complex disease that will take time to fully understand. This project has inspired and pushed me to think outside the box and affirmed my ambition to become a genetic counselor. I would like to thank Dr. Ahna Skop, Sarah Neuman, and Ben Minkoff for their great guidance and advice over the past semester.
I hope you enjoyed learn about 22q11.2 deletion syndrome and the Tbx1 gene!
