Lamees Al Habib

Clinical Molecular Genetics Fellow

Lamees Al Habib is a Clinical Molecular Genetics Fellow at King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre, with a background in pathology and genomic research. Fellowship training in clinical molecular genetics covers assay design and validation, the classification of sequence variants against evidence criteria, and the reporting judgements that decide what a family is told. Her work includes variant interpretation in highly consanguineous populations, where founder variants and long runs of homozygosity change how evidence for pathogenicity is weighed.
