This groundbreaking work was published in *Nature Genetics* and *The Lancet*, secured national and international awards, attracted research grants totaling approximately £170,000, and resulted in the rapid development of a national gene test at Oxford and Great Ormond Street Hospital. He was awarded a DPhil (PhD) by the University of Oxford before resuming his surgical training.
