Omic Approaches to Characterize the Functional and Phenotypic Consequences of Rare Structural Genomic Variants in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities and Congenital Anomalies
Omic Approaches to Characterize the Functional and Phenotypic Consequences of Rare Structural Genomic Variants in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities and Congenital Anomalies
to bridge the gap between the molecular structure of CNV and the effect on the phenotype, considering NDDs as complex diseases, as they are a consequence of the imbalance in several dosage-sensitive genes, we might try to approach them through different --omics investigations (genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics) according to the emerging field of network medicine. This holistic can provide valuable insight into understanding peculiar molecular mechanisms and unsuspected molecular interactions that contribute to the pathogenesis of the condition and possibly pave the way for uncovering new drug strategies that even if they do not heal the patient may improve his performance and the social interaction
