NEONATAL HI INJURY – Modulation of Triggering receptor expressed in myeloid cells 2 by gene transfer as novel neuroprotective estrategy for neonatal hypoxic ischemic brain injury using behavioural outcome as readout

by

Reference: 253110 Abstract: Insults during the perinatal stage of brain development lead to major causes of neurological disability throughout life, ranging from motor deficits, cognitive limitations, learning difficulties and even severe disabilities, such as cerebral palsy. In term newborn infants, hypoxic-ischemic (HI) brain injury is the most common cause of encephalopathy and seizures. Despite major … Read more

Characterization of mecp2 function in rett syndrome

by

Reference: QLK2-CT-2002-51761 Abstract: Ret Syndrome, an important cause of mental retardation in women, is associated with mutations in the gene encoding methyl- Cog binding protein. The aim of this project is to identify target genes whose expression is altered as a result of Mapco mutations. PROJECT DETAILS  beginning: 2003. end: 2005. Country of research: Spain … Read more

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

by

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

Chromatin diseases: from basic mechanisms to therapy

by

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
