Biorepository and Integrative Genomics initiative changing lives at Le Bonheur

MEMPHIS, Tenn., Nov. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Le Bonheur Children's Hospital neurologists are hoping one of its newest programs, the Biorepository and Integrative Genomics (BIG) initiative, will lead to medical breakthroughs for children living with a genetic disease.

Launched two years ago, BIG already houses more than 13,000 samples of pediatric DNA. And because it's one of only a handful of pediatric biorepositories in the country, the program is attracting researchers and scientists with its rich warehouse of genetic information.
