Naomichi Matsumoto (松本 直通, Matsumoto Naomichi, born August 3, 1961) is a Japanese physician and medical geneticist who identified several causative genes for human diseases, including Sotos syndrome (2002), [1] Marfan syndrome type II (2004), [2] Ohtahara syndrome (2008), [3] West syndrome (2010), [4] Microphthalmia with limb anomalies (2011), [5] Autosomal-recessive cerebellar ataxias (2011), [6] Hypomyelination with cerebellar atrophy and hypoplasia of the corpus callosum (HCAHC) (2011), [7] Porencephaly (2012), [8] and Coffin–Siris syndrome (2012). [9]
Matsumoto has been the editor-in-chief of the scientific journal Journal of Human Genetics since 2014. [10]
Matsumoto was born in Saga Prefecture, Japan, and completed his M.D. in 1986 from Kyushu University School of Medicine. [11] After residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Kyushu University Hospital, he worked as an obstetrician and gynecologist for several years. [11] Wishing to pursue advanced study in medical genetics, he went to Nagasaki University to study as a graduate student under Norio Niikawa, who discovered Kabuki syndrome. He obtained his doctorate in genetics in 1997 from the same institution, before becoming a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Chicago. [11] He was appointed Professor and Chairman of the Department of Human Genetics at Yokohama City University School of Medicine in 2003.
