Hereditary Cancer and Related Syndromes

Hereditary Cancer and Related Syndromes Programme: consisting of 7 re-

search groups from different fields, including clinical and molecular genetics, re- é
generative medicine, advanced/innovative therapies, molecular biology and cell é

biology.

íá

Rare Diseases • Fanconi anemia and disorders relating to genetic instability.
í
Studied
• Hereditary cancer and pediatric tumors.
ó

Objetives
To study the physiopathological mechanisms and genetic basis of hereditary cancer
as well as other related syndromes, in which genetic instability is a fundamental

component in disease onset or progression.

The specific objectives of this programme focus on the chromosome research,

specifically on Fanconi anemia, research on rare tumors, particularly endocrine tu-
mors, and research on advanced therapies (in collaboration with other RPs). Some

of the most noteworthy achievements include international clinical trials for gene
therapy for Fanconi anemia or the development of tissue cultures for autologous é

transplant after gene correction for epidermolysis bullosa.
