The research topics fall within the areas of Clinical Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, applied to the analysis of the molecular basis of hereditary genetic diseases, with particular interest in Celiac disease and Monogenic diabetes, in order to identify pathogenetic mechanisms that can be targeted by new personalized therapies, and to propose innovative pathways of molecular diagnostics.
• Study of the molecular basis and of the genotype-phenotype correlation in different forms of non-autoimmune diabetes (MODY, Neonatal diabetes, Insulin resistance syndromes)
• Evaluation of the impact of the GCK genotype of a MODY2 mother on the birth weight of children carrying the GCK mutation, and of the impact of the GCK genotype of a MODY2 fetus on the glycemic profiles of an affected mother in pregnancy
• Genomic characterization from ancient DNA
