The Laboratory of Human Molecular Genetics at Pasteur Institute of Morocco, study the molecular mechanisms behind various inherited diseases in the Moroccan population. The basic aim of our research is to increase our knowledge on the molecular causes of these diseases, thereby helping to design diagnostic assays, prevention and therapy. The central topics of our research include the molecular investigation of hereditary deafness and type 2 diabetes and also the role of the Y chromosome in sex determination and male infertility
Research topics:
- Study of hereditary deafness in the Moroccan population.
- Molecular study of type 2 diabetes and its complications.
- Genetic susceptibility to Metabolic syndrome.
- Genetics of human male infertility.
- Epigenetic profiling of human sperm DNA during spermatogenesi.
