Hi, we are the Norris Lab 🧬 by @thenorrislab

Tired of hearing the same old excuses? 👎👎👎 So were we.

So we did something about it. 🧬👍😎😎😎 The Norris Lab is dedicated to advancing research for Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and related comorbidities! 👩‍🔬

Because we just released a preprint titled “Complex Genetics and Regulatory Drivers of Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome: Insights from Genome-Wide Association Study Meta-analysis“, we wanted to provide a quick breakdown of what a GWAS is and why we do them!

Examining over 7 million points within the genome, this genome wide association study (GWAS) uncovered regions of DNA that may have an effect on nerve, immune, and pain pathways.

“Everyone is touched by disease. Everyone grows older. Everyone needs the advancements of science.”

- a quote from an unknown presenter at the American Society of Human Genetics Conference 2026 #EDS #hEDS #research #science #disability by @thenorrislab

True communities embrace, amplify, and understand each other’s differences.

Oftentimes we hear “different” and think things that were never said — that different means unworthy, unimportant, less deserving.

We must build a community that holds differences at the very center of what bonds us together. by @thenorrislab

What an incredible week at the American Society for Human Genetics 2026 Conference 🧬 There is nothing better than seeing the international community come together and share in scientific discovery, innovation, & technology. by @thenorrislab

Allow us to reintroduce ourselves! Hi, we are the Norris Lab, a multidisciplinary team passionate about advancing research in Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS)🦓🦓🦓, cardiovascular disease, and cardiac development. By combining basic science with clinical insights, we work to improve diagnostics, uncover unknown biology, increase public awareness, and develop therapeutics for these conditions. Our goal is to bridge the gap between patients, scientists, and physicians, fostering collaboration that leads to real, meaningful medical breakthroughs and direct patient impacts. ❤️
