About
Shehla Mohammed is a distinguished clinical geneticist whose work has significantly advanced the field of genomic medicine, particularly in the diagnosis of chromosomal imbalances. Her primary research focuses on the validation and clinical implementation of array comparative genomic hybridisation (CGH) as a first-line diagnostic tool, replacing traditional karyotyping for postnatal genome imbalance detection. Her landmark 2010 study, cited 47 times, demonstrated that array CGH provides a substantial increase in diagnostic yield for patients with developmental disorders, establishing a new standard of care in genetic testing. Mohammed’s contributions have been pivotal in transitioning cytogenetics from low-resolution chromosome analysis to high-resolution genomic arrays, improving detection rates for submicroscopic imbalances that were previously missed. Beyond this, her work has influenced clinical guidelines and laboratory practices, ensuring that patients receive more accurate and timely diagnoses. Her achievements underscore her role as a key figure in modernizing diagnostic genetics, with lasting impact on both research and clinical settings.
