Rare diseases affect over 3.5 million people in the UK and recent medical advances have provided the means to generate diagnoses for several rare diseases that have been studied to-date but have no treatment. Importantly, a large proportion of these diseases are caused by specific alterations in the genetic building blocks or DNA of affected patients. I am a Clinician Scientist and Academic Clinical Geneticist who combines clinical insights into rare diseases with excellent science on in vivo and in vitro modelling, capitalising on key strengths I have gained through my career to-date, providing a direct link to translational medicine and the independence to pursue my vision of transforming care provided for rare disease patients.

My current research programme have the following themes:

  1. Enabling early confirmatory diagnosis through mining genomics data and functional characterisation of novel rare disease genes.
  2. Understanding disease mechanism through cell-based and animal modelling.
  3. Natural history studies with the focus on pulling together ‘trial-ready’ cohorts of rare disease patients with emphasis on advanced gene-directed therapies.

I hold a joint position with Sheffield Children’s Hospital which is only one of three dedicated children’s hospital in the UK. I care for children and adults with rare genetic disorders. I am also the Research Director for Sheffield Children’s Hospital.

Research interests

My group’s main areas of research currently are in,

Rare bone genetics (NBAS therapy; Novel gene discovery in OI; OI gene therapy; Hypophosphatasia).

Rare neurodevelopmental disorders (Undiagnosed genetic disorders; HNRNPU and ASXL3-related disorder).


Rare bone genetics

1. NBAS Therapy: During studies to identify genes associated with rare osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) phenotypes, we discovered that the same mutations in NBAS (Neuroblastoma Amplified Sequence) known to be associated with acute liver failure in infants were responsible for skeletal abnormalities in patients with OI. This work was published as a novel cause of bone fragility. This discovery provided me the opportunity to use tractable animal (zebrafish) research to advance understanding of the mechanisms by which NBAS exerts its effects, having generated zebrafish models that accurately mimic human disease in order to identify potential new treatments.

2. Novel gene discovery in OI and understanding disease mechanism for non-collagen OI genes: This is a long-standing research interest of mine focused on mining genomics data for new gene discovery working alongside diagnostic colleagues from 100,000 Genomes project for which I lead the bone fragility domain as GeCIP lead and NHS whole genome sequencing. This has led me to identify novel OI genes which are being worked up. An additional area is genes linking brain and bone disease such as Sodium Channelopathies, spermine synthase and SETD5 which I am exploring the causal link and why these disorders cause a bone phenotype.

3. OI Gene therapy: We are working towards developing phenotypic assays to facilitate molecular and cellular characterisation of OI phenotype using iPSC cell lines. We hypothesise that access to disease-relevant cells with patient-specific variants will provide the most representative models of OI, thus allowing us to set up reliable assays for therapeutic discovery. We are deriving iPSCs from our existing banks of OI patients’ fibroblasts and differentiating these into osteoblasts. We plan to set up a phenotypic assay as a proof-of-principle for future high-throughput drug discovery efforts and in-depth mechanistic studies.

4. Family mapping in Hypophosphatasia (FAME Study): The aim of this study is to detect additional symptomatic and asymptomatic HPP patients within affected families, in order to establish a cohort of HPP patients using family mapping and predictive genotyping approach. In addition, we also want to examine the relationship between a pathogenic variant in ALPL and musculoskeletal symptoms and other aspects of general health status.


Genomic Medicine

1. Undiagnosed Genetic Disorders and functional studies This involves mining genomics data for rare phenotypic presentations and discovering candidate genes for novel neurodevelopmental and congenital disorders and identifying additional international patients through interrogation of worldwide genomic datasets using Genematcher and Matchmaker exchange programmes; undertaking functional studies for publication of a novel genes.

2. HNRNPU-related disorder HNRNPU-related disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by heterozygous, de novo, loss-of-function variants in HNRNPU. Patients with pathogenic variants in HNRNPU present with seizures, global developmental delay, early onset epilepsy, hypotonia, autistic features, and a variety of anatomical abnormalities and intellectual disability. My group has published the largest HNRNPU patient cohort (Yates et al., 2017; Durkin et al., 2021; Taylor et al., 2022) and now working to understand underlying disease mechanism and engineer therapeutic interventions for HNRNPU syndrome. Knowledge gained from this can act as a model for similar loss-of-function RNDDs and establish Sheffield as a pioneer for this therapeutic approach. We now have a natural history study focused on longitudinal clinical data and sample collection for HNRNPU. We also published a Genereview chapter on clinical diagnosis and management of HNRNPU (Balasubramanian., 2022). Working with ‘Unique’ rare disease patient support group, we have published a patient guide for HNRNPU-related disorder.

3. ASLX3-related disorder, also referred to as Bainbridge-Ropers syndrome, is characterised by developmental delay and intellectual disability caused by heterozygous, de novo pathogenic variants in ASXL3 (Additional Sex Combs-Like 3). Over the last 5 years, my group has published most of the literature on this condition (Balasubramanian et al., 2017; Myers et al., 2018; Schirwani et al., 2019; Schirwani et al., 2021) and published a Genereview chapter on clinical diagnosis and management of the condition (Balasubramanian., 2020). Working with ‘Unique’ rare disease patient support group, we have published a patient guide for ASXL3. We now have a natural history study focused on longitudinal clinical data and sample collection for ASXL3.

Research group

My group is working on two main research areas: Rare Bone Disorders and Rare Neurodevelopmental Disorders

1. Rare Bone Disorders (RBD)

I am working on two RBDs: Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) and Hypophosphatasia (HPP). I am currently pursuing an MRC Fellowship on developing zebrafish disease models for bone fragility and developing targets for therapeutic intervention having set up ‘Balasubramanian lab’ at Bateson Centre, University of Sheffield.

I lead inter-disciplinary bone genetics research: deep phenotyping (first Musculoskeletal NIHR Rare Disease Translational Research collaboration grant), fracture risk prediction models; genomics in OI and awarded grants by Brittle Bone Society in their first ever research call to study OI health economics and patient diagnostic journey and BRONE Study studying brain and bone association.

2. Rare Neurodevelopmental Disorders (RNDDs)

In the area of paediatric genomic medicine, my research is focused on genotype-phenotype correlation in newly identified genes from next generation sequencing studies such as Deciphering Developmental Disorders (DDD) study and the Genomics England, 100,000 Genomes Project. I am considered one of the world-leading experts on these disorders and have published national and international guidelines on diagnosis, management and ongoing surveillance for such disorders including ASXL3-related disorder, HNRNPU-related neurodevelopmental disorder, and SIN3A-related disorder. I am also working on developing gene therapy for rare neurodevelopmental disorders (RNDDs) and recently secured funding from The Children’s Hospital Charity and LifeArc to work on preliminary data collection for this proposal.
