Recent AHC related articles

Due to the advent of next-generation sequencing, the field of AHC genetics has been evolving very rapidly over the past two years. Over the last month, five very noteworthy articles were published. Great work is being done to advance the science behind AHC and we are very grateful to the many physicians and researchers taking on this important work. Vicky Platt, AHCF’s Secretary and research librarian, has listed below the citations to articles published in just the last month. Thanks Vicky!
