Be one of the first to see the state of the art facilities in Murdoch Childrens new home in the redeveloped Royal Children's Hospital by taking a Discovery Tour in 2012.

The Bruce Lefroy Centre for Genetic Health Research is a research group within the Murdoch Childrens Research Institute, made possible by the generosity of the Lefroy family and friends.

Researchers at the Institute have highlighted the success of genetic testing in schools after successfully trialling the feasibility of haemochromatosis screening in high schools. 

The study, published online in the European Journal of Human Genetics, offered genetic screening to year 10 and 11 students.  Over 5,700 students were screened via a cheek swab sample, with 1 in 203 students identified as being at high risk of haemochromatosis.
