In this episode of CoRDS Cast, Alyssa interviews David Longman from the Tango2 Research Foundation, and Dr. Michael Sacher, who is a professor in the biology department at Concordia University. TANGO2 itself is a protein coding gene on chromosome 22 (22q11.21). TANGO2 has only recently been identified as a gene that contributes to human disease so there is not yet a deep understanding of the specifics around the underlying pathology and biochemical pathways affected. David is a loving father of a 3 year old who has Tango2. David works closely with researchers such as Dr. Sacher, and does great work with his group to raise money for research and to raise awareness for his son’s condition.
