About
Driven by a commitment to advancing genomic diagnostics, Dr. Marwa Shehab has made pivotal contributions to the field of clinical cytogenetics. Her primary research focuses on the validation and implementation of array comparative genomic hybridisation (CGH) as a superior first-line diagnostic tool, directly improving the detection of genome imbalances in postnatal care. Her landmark 2010 study, which has garnered 47 citations, provided compelling evidence that array CGH offers a substantial increase in diagnostic yield over traditional G-banded karyotyping for patients with developmental disorders. This work was instrumental in shifting clinical practice, demonstrating that a genome-wide approach could replace older, less sensitive methods. By systematically validating this technology, Dr. Shehab helped establish a new standard for detecting submicroscopic chromosomal abnormalities, enabling more accurate diagnoses for countless families. Her research underscores a clear impact on translational medicine, bridging the gap between advanced genomic technology and routine clinical application to enhance patient outcomes.
