Présentation

The projects developed in my research group focus on rare neuromuscular diseases, due to genetic mutations in genes encoding nuclear envelope proteins. In particular, we are interested in lamin A/C and their partners responsible for Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophies (EDMD) and forms of Congenital Muscular Dystrophies (L-CMD) or Limb-girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMD).

Our research projects aimed at validating the pathogenicity of new genetic variants identified as part of the patient's diagnostic process, in particular using high-throughput sequencing techniques (NGS). We use cellular models from patients (fibroblast cultures from skin biopsies) as well as animal models that we have developed (mouse models) in order to better understand the pathological mechanisms involved and to test the efficacy of therapies.
