SENSORINEURAL PATHOLOGY
Consisting of 7 research groups from different fields, including clinical and molecular genetics, epidemiology, molecular and cell biology and animal models, for translational purposes by means of implementing new diagnostic algorithms and therapeutic orientation .
Rare Diseases Studied:
• Retinal dystrophies • Isolated and syndromic ocular abnormalities • Albinism
• Hereditary and congenital hypoacusis
Objectives: To approach rare diseases having an effect on sensory organs, and particularly on sight and/or hearing . The strength of the RPs and one of their main objectives is to develop cellular and animal models of RD, particularly for the next period of leading the pre-clinical research on sensorineural RD . In addition, the RPs develop genomic diagnostic tools .
