| Citation | Jonathan Flint's research addresses how inherited traits influence behaviour. Initially he studied chromosomal disorders and discovered the importance of telomeric rearrangements in causing developmental abnormalities in cognition and behaviour. Subsequently he has pioneered the approaches which are now used to identify the genetic components underlying normal variation in behaviour. In particular, he first demonstrated that high resolution mapping, even gene identification, could be achieved using chromosomally mosaic populations. This work has led to an improved understanding of the genetic architecture and molecular mechanisms underlying normal variation and complex disorders. |
