Laura de Graaff

Laura de Graaff is a researcher in the Department of Internal Medicine at Erasmus MC, focusing on neurodevelopmental and genetic disorders in adults. Her work integrates clinical medicine, neuropsychology, and endocrinology, particularly in conditions such as Neurofibromatosis type 1, Prader-Willi Syndrome, and Silver-Russell Syndrome.

Her research interests include cognitive and behavioral profiles in genetic disorders, fatigue in chronic disease, and neuropsychological assessment. Key themes in her work involve cohort studies, genetic analysis, and endocrine dysregulation.

The most recent articles highlight her focus on cognitive deficits in NF1, psychopathology in imprinting disorders, and complex interactions between genetics, behavior, and hypertension. Her publications appear in high-impact journals such as Frontiers in Neurology and Developmental Medicine and Child Neurology, indicating strong clinical and research engagement.

She has supervised research work, with four supervised projects listed, and collaborates extensively with specialists in neurology, endocrinology, and genetics. No scientific awards or grants are mentioned in the available data.

Laura de Graaff is actively contributing to the understanding of adult phenotypes in rare genetic syndromes, bridging gaps between pediatric onset and lifelong clinical management. She is part of multidisciplinary teams, including the ENCORE Expertise Center for NF1, and contributes to both clinical research and academic scholarship.
