Joint project: European Rett Syndrome Network (EURORETT).ᅠShare TU Darmstadt.ᅠ

Reference: 01GM0811 TIB Abstract: Although the biochemical function of the proteins involved in this disorder is known, the pathophysiological mechanisms are still mysterious, stressing the need for synergy and multidisciplinarity. Because Rett syndrome could be reversible, it is a priority to combine all possible approaches understand disease mechanisms. This could allow the rapid translation of … Read more

Developmental Control of Gene Expression

Reference: 864.03.002 Abstract: One of the most profound and intriguing questions in biology concerns the relationship between genetic diversity and the morphology and biology of different species. The key to understanding this relationship will be found in uncovering the contribution of gene family members to the development of organisms. In recent years it has become … Read more

Epigenetics, NEURITE AND PSYCHOSIS

Reference: ANRn.a.8-MNPSn.a.007 Abstract: Psychotic disorders (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, pervasive developmental disorders) are disabling disorders of variable clinical expression ?, ?d resulting interaction between genetic and environmental factors during critical periods of brain development. Some candidate genes have been identified . Among them, neuregulin, RGS4, DISC1, reelin, BDNF and glutamatergic receptors are involved in the formation … Read more

Chromatin diseases: from basic mechanisms to therapy

Reference: 238242 Abstract: The scope of this ITN is to promote research and training in the field of chromatin diseases. Chromatin diseases (CD) are genetic pathologies resulting from mutations in structural components of chromatin or in enzymes that biochemically modify chromatin, altering chromatin status and thereby causing drastic effects on gene expression. CD frequency ranges … Read more

CHERISH (Improving diagnoses of mental retardation in children in central eastern Europe and central Asia through genetic characterisation and bioinformatics / statistics)

Reference: 223692 Abstract: Mental retardation (MR) is a highly heterogeneous disorder and is of genetic origin in about 50% of the cases. Despite recent progress in research the causes and the pathophysiology of MR remains obscure. It is essential to investigate this in order to develop future diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. The overall goal of … Read more
