Summary

Welcome to a Friday special! This week’s bonus episode features a positive news story. We covered this on the live Times Radio show earlier this week and wanted to bring it to the Off Air community... Scientists have made major technological advances, revealing how mutations in a tiny non-coding gene cause multiple neurodevelopmental disorders. Fi spoke to Prof. Nicky Whiffin, who leads the Computational Rare Disease Genomics Group at Oxford University's Big Data Institute, and James Coney, News Projects Editor at The Sunday Times.
