Sarah A. Sandaradura is a Geneticist based in Camperdown, NSW, Australia.
In her work, Sarah looks at genetic causes for a wide range of conditions that can affect muscle, movement, growth, and development. Many of the conditions she deals with are long term. They can show up early in childhood, and they may involve things like weak muscle tone (hypotonia), delays in growth, and changes in the way the body moves.
Some examples of the conditions her work covers include nemaline myopathy, congenital fibre-type disproportion, tubular aggregate myopathy, and X-linked myotubular myopathy. She also works with families where there are congenital contractures, arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, and distal arthrogryphosis. At times, these conditions can come with problems such as cramps, twitching (cramp-fasciculation syndrome), or ongoing muscle weakness.
There are also genetic brain and nervous system conditions in her scope. This can include conditions like lissencephaly 2, polymicrogyria, agyria pachygyria polymicrogyria, and centronuclear myopathy. Some people may have seizures or movement changes, and some may show differences in how their brain develops.
Sarah’s work can also include genetic causes of movement problems and eye movement issues, such as chorea, drug induced dyskinesia, and horizontal gaze palsy with progressive scoliosis. In some cases, there may be physical changes like polydactyly, or changes that affect the head size, such as increased head circumference.
Living with these conditions usually means lots of questions and careful planning over time. Sarah helps by focusing on the genetic side, which can be an important piece of the puzzle for families.
