Le Bonheur and UTHSC sign agreement to obtain genetic information from 25,000 DNA samples As research into genetic causes of disease began to grow, Le Bonheur Pediatrician-in- Chief Jon McCullers, MD, knew it was time to start building a pediatric DNA biorepository. So in 2015, Le Bonheur s Children s Foundation Research Institute (CFRI) created the Biorepository and Integrative Genomics (BIG) Initiative and began collecting DNA samples from hospitalized children at Le Bonheur with the consent of their parents. We knew then that changes in genes impact health and cause disease. We began collecting DNA samples in the hope that at some point we would be able to sequence the DNA and use it for research, said McCullers. Five years and more than 10,000 DNA samples later, this dream is becoming a reality.
