Research Areas: Children with mental and physical special needs and their families, couples with reproductive problems, recurrent pregnancy losses, infertility, couples with failures in in vitro fertilization, hematological and oncological cancers, familial cancer cases such as breast, ovarian and colon cancer, FMF, ankylosing spondylitis, behçet such as rheumatological and autoinflammatory diseases, Individuals with a genetic disease previously diagnosed in the family, Muscle and nerve diseases, Young cases with stroke and cardiological problems, cases with a history of recurrent deep vein thrombi and embolism, and cases with coagulation disorders, especially in pregnant women with anomaly detected in fetal ultrasonography pregnant women and those with high risk in screening tests. Current study and research topics include COVID-19, infertility, microbiota, familial and somatic cancers, dysmorphism, syndromes, rheumatological and metabolic diseases.
