    Collapse overview
    Lauren Desrosiers-Battu is a board-certified genetic counselor who completed her Master of Science training at the University of South Carolina. She was recognized for achievements in her professional education as the 2018 recipient of the University of South Carolina S. Robert Young Outstanding Genetic Counselor Award.

    Mrs. Desrosiers-Battu is a genetic counselor for the Cancer Genetics Clinic at Texas Children's Hospital. Through her role in this clinic, she educates and supports families during genetic evaluation for a wide range of childhood cancer predisposition syndromes.

    Additionally, a substantial portion of Lauren's time is devoted to research, most notably as a key member of the Texas KidsCanSeq (KCS) study team from 2018 to the close of the study in 2023. Mrs. Desrosiers-Battu joined the BCM/Stanford team for the Clinical Genome (ClinGen) Resource in 2023 and currently serves as the coordinator of the Endocrine Tumor Predisposition Syndrome (Endo-TPS) variant curation expert panel (VCEP).

    PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
