VIB CMN - Molecular Neurogenomics University of Antwerp

Responsible
The Lab focuses on the identification and characterization of disease-causing genes and pathways implicated in the molecular etiology of neurological disorders, like inherited peripheral neuropathies (CMT) and inherited epilepsies. For this purpose we use two major research strategies:- unraveling the role of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases in peripheral neurodegeneration as a tool for understanding the molecular pathomechanisms of peripheral ...

Peripheral Neuropathies Group University of Antwerp

Responsible
State of the art Inherited peripheral neuropathies belong to the most common neuromuscular disorders and occur worldwide (1/2500). The best known is Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT), an inherited disorder first described in 1886. Most patients have a progressive weakness and wasting of foot and hand muscles. Sometimes patients need walking aids or become wheelchair dependent even at a young age. The clinical variability and genetic ...
