About Nancy B. Spinner, PhD, FACMG

The Spinner Laboratory studies the genetics of several pediatric disorders focusing on both identifying the specific genes that cause disease, and understanding how mutations in these genes can cause related clinical phenotypes. 

Current projects focus on utilization of exome and whole genome sequencing for pediatric diagnosis, understanding the genetics of two pediatric liver disorders, Alagille syndrome and biliary atresia, and molecular analysis of ring chromosome 14 and 20, both of which are associated with seizures. 

Their clinical sequencing project is carried out in collaboration with Dr. Ian Krantz’s laboratory and is part of the Clinical Sequencing Exploratory Research (CSER) project, funded by the NHGRI. The goals of this network are to identify best practices for pediatric exome sequencing.

Our work on Alagille syndrome and Biliary Atresia is carried out in collaboration with Drs. Marcella Devoto, Kathy Loomes, Ian Krantz and David Piccoli at CHOP, and as part of the NIDDK funded Childhood Liver Disease Research Network (ChiLDReN). Our work on biliary atresia is aimed at identifying genetic susceptibility factors and we are using GWAS, exome sequencing and analysis of copy number variation to look for genetic underpinnings for this clearly complex and likely heterogeneous disorder. 

A more recent project is to understand the mechanism by which ring chromosomes cause human disease and in particular we are focusing on two ring chromosomes that are associated with seizures.  Even in cases where the ring chromosomes are molecularly intact, with no deletions or duplications, affected individuals have a clinical phenotype, and we are working with Drs. Stewart Anderson, Jay Mills and Laura Conlin, to develop a neuronal cell model for these ring chromosomes.  Since the seizure phenotype emerges with age of the patients, we believe that understanding the cause of the seizures may lead us to better treatments.
