Neurogenetics Group University of Antwerp
Many neurodegenerative disorders have a genetic etiology or are complex disorders caused by an interaction between environmental and inherited factors. In our research group we focus on the clinical and genetic aspects of inherited peripheral neuropathies and inherited epilepsy syndromes. The clinical, electrophysiological and neuropathological characterization of patients affected by these disorders forms the starting point for molecular ...

NEGE will focus on the research of mitochondrial diseases and of genetic malformations of the brain.
Deficiencies of oxidative phosphorylation are at the basis of a heterogeneous group of hereditary disorders, better known as mitochondrial cytopathies. The incidence was long underestimated, but the morbidity and mortality of these conditions have an important impact on public health.
Hundreds of proteins involved in the formation ...
