Research interests: Hereditary neuralgic amyotrophy
Dr. Hannibal recently completed research on the clinical and molecular analysis of the Grieg cephalopolysyndactyly and Pallister-Hall syndromes as well as mutations in the SALL4 gene as associated with the Okihiro syndrome. In addition, he is completing a project that relates to the analysis of the susceptibility genes for arthritis in mice.
Dr. Hannibal is co-prinicipal investigator in the project which studies the molecular basis of hereditary neuralgic amyotrophy, which is his primary research focus at the moment. His interest is in the translational aspects of genetic disorders, such as mutations in the Septin 9 gene associated hereditary neuralgic amyotrophy. Upcoming research plans include array-based comparative genomic hybridization studies related to the Kabuki syndrome and also the Joubert syndrome.
He is a member of the Professional Advisory Board for the Kabuki Syndrome Network.
