The various areas that Sau Wai Cheung examines in his Copy-number variation study include Bioinformatics and Pathology.
His work investigates the relationship between Chromosome and topics such as Phenotype that intersect with problems in Regulation of gene expression.
His most cited work include:
- Parental Somatic Mosaicism Is Underrecognized and Influences Recurrence Risk of Genomic Disorders (158 citations)
- Prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal abnormalities using array-based comparative genomic hybridization. (157 citations)
- A small recurrent deletion within 15q13.3 is associated with a range of neurodevelopmental phenotypes (151 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Sau Wai Cheung focuses on Genetics, Comparative genomic hybridization, Gene duplication, Copy-number variation and Chromosome.
His works in Gene, Phenotype, Breakpoint, Haploinsufficiency and Genome are all subjects of inquiry into Genetics.
His work in Phenotype addresses subjects such as Intellectual disability, which are connected to disciplines such as Hypotonia and Speech delay.
Sau Wai Cheung works mostly in the field of Comparative genomic hybridization, limiting it down to topics relating to Fluorescence in situ hybridization and, in certain cases, Chromosomal translocation and Molecular biology, as a part of the same area of interest.
His Gene duplication study combines topics in areas such as Gene rearrangement and Microcephaly.
His study looks at the intersection of Copy-number variation and topics like Prenatal diagnosis with Obstetrics.

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His main research concerns Genetics, Copy-number variation, Breakpoint, Gene and Chromosomal translocation.
His study in Exome sequencing, Genetic heterogeneity, Proband, Non-homologous end joining and Phenotype is carried out as part of his studies in Genetics.
His work deals with themes such as Microarray analysis techniques, Internal medicine, Confidence interval and Prenatal diagnosis, which intersect with Copy-number variation.
His research integrates issues of Intellectual disability, Contiguous gene syndrome and Sex-limited genes in his study of Breakpoint.
As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Chromosomal translocation, concentrating on Karyotype and intersecting with DNA sequencing, Miscarriage, Relative risk, Fluorescence in situ hybridization and Recurrent miscarriage.
His studies examine the connections between Chromosome and genetics, as well as such issues in Computational biology, with regards to Molecular diagnostics, Comparative Genome Hybridization and Comparative genomic hybridization.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Rare variants in the genetic background modulate cognitive and developmental phenotypes in individuals carrying disease-associated variants. (56 citations)
- BAFopathies' DNA methylation epi-signatures demonstrate diagnostic utility and functional continuum of Coffin-Siris and Nicolaides-Baraitser syndromes. (37 citations)
- Identification of balanced chromosomal rearrangements previously unknown among participants in the 1000 Genomes Project: implications for interpretation of structural variation in genomes and the future of clinical cytogenetics. (36 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
Sau Wai Cheung mainly investigates Genetics, Gene, Exome sequencing, Human genetics and NIPBL.
His research combines Family history and Genetics.
In the subject of general Gene, his work in Polymerase chain reaction, Cytogenetics, 1000 Genomes Project and Genome is often linked to Identification, thereby combining diverse domains of study.
His Exome sequencing study incorporates themes from Genetic Carrier Screening, Penetrance, Autism and Proband.
Sau Wai Cheung has researched Human genetics in several fields, including Cornelia de Lange Syndrome, Genetic heterogeneity, Locus heterogeneity, Exome and Allele.
