European Training Program for 10 brilliant PhD students to Understand, Diagnose and Treat Autosomal Dominant Retinal Diseases
In autosomal dominant inheritance, just one defective gene can cause a condition. Key mechanisms:
Dominant Negative: Faulty protein disrupts the normal one.
Gain of Function: Mutant protein gains toxic function.
Haploinsufficiency: One copy isn’t enough for normal function.
Stay tuned for more !

New journey, new beginning! Welcome on board! Let's make this adventure amazing!💫
The true game-changer of 2024? In September, I embarked on my biggest adventure yet: moving to Ghent,Belgium🇧🇪to start my PhD in @elfridedebaere.bsky.social’s lab under the @progret2024.bsky.social fellowship.Big thanks to the lab for a warm welcome.I’m already building some unforgettable memories.👨‍🔬✨

Autosomal dominant IRD accounts for 25-40% of cases, posing challenges due to variable phenotypes, milder forms, and later onset. Mutations are categorized as gain-of-function, dominant-negative, or haploinsufficiency. Stay tuned as we explore these mechanisms further!
