Omics Sciences for the Identification of Pathogenetic Mechanisms and Biomarkers in Neurodegenerative Diseases

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY

The study aims to use 'omics' sciences, employing the most advanced technologies currently available, in order to identify pathogenic genomic variants, proteins and/or altered molecular pathways in neurodegenerative diseases and to obtain a new and more complete characterisation of subjects affected by the neurodegenerative diseases under study. Thanks to the integration of genomic, gene expression (transcriptomic and epigenomic), protein and metabolic data and clinical data, the study also aims to identify new markers for the diagnosis, prognosis, also in terms of response to therapy, and monitoring of neurodegenerative diseases. The study involves the enrolment of at least 1.200 individuals with neurodegenerative disease.

Treatments
Patients diagnosed with neurodegenerative diseases
The study aims to identify pathogenic genomic variants and/or altered molecular pathways in these patients by analysing the entire genome and integrating these data with gene expression data and/or epigenomic and/or protein expression data. The study also aims to identify new markers for the diagnosis and monitoring of neurodegenerative diseases by analysing collected biological samples such as blood and blood derivatives, including liquid biopsy approaches using the most advanced technologies available at the t
