2026-IdrDip-07-medmol - Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT): variant discovery and development of therapeutic strategies
Rescue Genome analysis in patients without a molecular diagnosis following a conventional diagnostic workup.The role will involve: analysis of sequencing results, identification and classification of cryptic variants, and characterisation of variants, with a specific focus on those associated with splicing alterations. Secondary analyses via RNA-seq on patient biopsies to identify altered pathways in the disease. Finally, development of RNA-targeted therapeutic approaches aimed at rescuing the identified defect in patients
