    Multidisciplinary approach to genomics research in Africa: the AfriCRAN model
    (PAMJ, 2015-07-01) Butali, A.; Mossey, P.; Tiffin, N.; Adeyemo, W.; Eshete, M.; Mumena, C.; Audu, R.; Onwuamah, C.; Agbenorku, P.; Ogunlewe, M.; Adebola, A.; Olasoji, H.; Aregbesola, B.; Braimah, R.; Oladugba, A.; Onah, I.; Adebiyi, E.; Olaitan, P.; Abdur-Rahman, L.; Adeyemo, A.
    This article is an outcome of the African Craniofacial Anomalies Research Network (AfriCRAN) Human Hereditary and Health (H3A) grant planning meeting in 2012 in Lagos, Nigeria. It describes the strengths of a multidisciplinary team approach to solving complex genetic traits in the craniofacial region. It also highlights the different components and argues for the composition of similar teams to fast track the discovery of disease genes, diagnostic tools, improved clinical treatment and ultimately prevention of diseases.
