Published in 2020 at "Journal of Neurology"

DOI: 10.1007/s00415-020-10298-4

Abstract: Familial Dysautonomia (FD) disease, lacks a useful biomarker for clinical monitoring. In this longitudinal study we characterized the structural changes in the macula, peripapillary and the optic nerve head (ONH) regions in subjects with FD.… read more here.

Published in 2021 at "Nature Communications"

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-24705-5

Abstract: Approximately half of genetic disease-associated mutations cause aberrant splicing. However, a widely applicable therapeutic strategy to splicing diseases is yet to be developed. Here, we analyze the mechanism whereby IKBKAP-familial dysautonomia (FD) exon 20 inclusion… read more here.
