Dr. Richard K. Yang

My practice includes caring for children and adults with inherited conditions, such as inherited disorders of metabolism, genetic syndromes, mitochondrial disorders, inherited causes of growth failure or developmental delay, and conditions detected by newborn screening. My clinic works with the Pediatric Biochemical Genetics Laboratory to diagnose these conditions. We provide treatment for inherited disorders of metabolism. I work closely with the geneticists, neurologists, pediatricians, internists, and other providers at Duke University Medical Center to provide comprehensive care for my patients. My research has been aimed at developing new treatments for inherited conditions, focusing on glycogen storage diseases, like Pompe disease and von Gierke disease. We have developed gene therapy for these conditions and are in the process of starting clinical trials to test safety and benefits. Dr. Koeberl is highly rated in 15 conditions, according to our data. His clinical expertise encompasses Pompe Disease, Von Gierke Disease, Propionic Acidemia, and X-Linked Creatine Deficiency. Dr. Koeberl is board certified in American Board Of Medical Genetics, Clinical Biochemical Genetics , American Board Of Medical Genetics, Clinical Genetics And Genomics - General , and American Board Of Pediatrics, General Pediatrics. Dr. Koeberl is currently accepting new patients.

I am a clinical geneticist and a pediatrician with a deep interest in undiagnosed and rare genetic disorders. I provide medical care for children and adults with chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome and diagnostic evaluation for patients with symptoms and signs of genetic disorders, when evaluations have not provided a specific diagnosis. Dr. Shashi is highly rated in 8 conditions, according to our data. Her clinical expertise encompasses DiGeorge Syndrome, Hypotonia, Immune Defect due to Absence of Thymus, and Micrognathia. Dr. Shashi is board certified in American Board Of Medical Genetics And Genomics, Clinical Genetics And Genomics - General. Dr. Shashi is currently accepting new patients.

I see patients with mitochondrial and lysosomal storage diseases, developmental delay, intellectual disability, chromosomal disorders, congenital defects, short stature, failure to thrive, and adult genetic disorders. I love the application of rapidly growing genetic knowledge to treat patients with a variety of medical problems that involve a complex interaction of genetic and environmental factors, particularly since the Human Genome Project. I find it fascinating to use the massive power of sequencing technology and artificial intelligence/machine learning to predict phenotypes from genotypes with increasing clinical relevance to human health. In my spare time, I like to hike and play sports with my wife and teenage sons, play piano, and learn famous Russian poetry of the 19th century. I see patients in person and through telehealth. Dr. Niyazov is highly rated in 8 conditions, according to our data. His clinical expertise encompasses Early Infantile Epileptic Encephalopathy, Macroglossia, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), and Hypotonia. Dr. Niyazov is board certified in American Board Of Medical Genetics And Genomics, Clinical Genetics And Genomics - General. Dr. Niyazov is currently accepting new patients.
