Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Joy Delhanty was a leading cytogeneticist and pioneer of Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT). She was an academic at Univeristy College London for the entirety of her career and most recently as Emeritus Professor. Sadly, she passed away in September 2021, and her last words were apparently “make sure you get this published.” Joy and her lab are credited with performing the world’s first cytogenetic PGT, in describing the world’s first human triploid, Robertsonian translocations as a cause for Down syndrome and a body of seminal work on cancer mutations and embryo mosaicism.
To honour her last wish, this Special Issue, comprising largely of work from her many former students, celebrates her life with a selection of articles on genetics with a specific emphasis in early human development.
