Research Summary

Dr. Kristensen is currently a PhD candidate studying POLG disease. Using data from a large Norwegian and European cohort of POLG patients, her main objectives are to describe the natural history and epidemiology of POLG disease and to investigate possible relationships between genotype and phenotypic expression. She also has a particular interest in pyridoxine (vitamin B6) and pyridoxine-responsive epilepsy and is a member of the international PDE Consortium.
