Dr. Stevenson graduated from the University of Utah School of Medicine, completed Pediatric residency at the University of New Mexico, and a Medical Genetics Fellowship at the University of Utah, where he joined the faculty in 2005. In 2015, Dr. Stevenson joined the Division of Medical Genetics at Stanford School of Medicine. He is board-certified in Pediatrics and Medical Genetics.
Dr. Stevenson’s clinical interests include disorders of the Ras/MAPK pathway (e.g., NF1, Noonan syndrome, Costello syndrome, CFC syndrome), vascular anomalies, and bone disorders. He attends at the Osteogenesis Imperfecta Clinic at the Salt Lake City Shriners Hospital and the Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT) Clinic at the University of Utah. His research focuses on the pathophysiology of the musculoskeletal abnormalities of the Rasopathies, with a primary focus on scoliosis and tibial dysplasia in NF1. He also conducts research on Prader-Willi syndrome, vascular malformations, and the genetics of non-syndromic orthopedic manifestations such as developmental dysplasia of the hip.
Dr. Stevenson has written more than 120 scientific papers in peer reviewed journals and several book chapters. He serves on the National Prader-Willi Syndrome Association Scientific Advisory Board, the Costello Syndrome Family Support Network Professional Advisory Committee, the Cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome International Medical Advisory Board, and the Children’s Tumor Foundation Bone Abnormalities Consortium, and medical advisory boards for Costello syndrome and cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome support groups.
Dr. Stevenson has been the Principal Investigator or Co-Investigator of grants from the National Institutes of Health, the Department of Defense, Shriner Research Foundation, American Academy of Otolaryngology, Thrasher Research Fund, March of Dimes, and Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.
