SPP 313:  Molekulare Dysmorphogenese

Subject Area Medicine
Term from 1995 to 2001
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 5443707
 
Inborn malformations are a frequent cause of early childhood morbidity and mortality. Many malformations, which occur either as an isolated form or as part of a complex syndrome, have a genetic basis and result from defective developmental processes during early embryogenesis. The molecular basis of morphogenetic processes in humans is poorly understood. The priority programme aims at the elucidation of the genetic defects and molecular pathogenesis of selected malformation syndromes affecting the skeletal system. The focus of research is on the structure, function and regulation of the genes involved in these processes. In some cases, animal models will be generated. Theelucidation of the etiology and pathogenesis of malformation syndromes is not only a prerequisite for the diagnosis, therapy and prevention of these diseases, but will also contribute to the understanding of the genetic basis of human development.
