We previously demonstrated that patients affected by ARSACS showed changes in DNA methylation pattern, indicating that epigenetics might have a role in disease pathogenesis. These findings encouraged us to get deeper in this field and hypothesize that changes in DNA methylation could constitute a biomarker of disease progression. To achieve our aim, we will analyze the most biologically significant regions of the human methylome in a large group of patients in the context of patients' clinical history and disease progression.\n\nGrant: $49,500\n\nDuration : one year\n\nContact:\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-15770 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/arsacs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Daniele-Galatolo-photo-201x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"182\" height=\"272\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arsacs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Daniele-Galatolo-photo-201x300.jpg 201w, https:\/\/arsacs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Daniele-Galatolo-photo.jpg 408w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 182px) 100vw, 182px\" \/>\n\nDr. Daniele Galatolo\n\nMolecular Medicine for Neurodegenerative and Neuromuscular Diseases Unit\n\nIRCCS Stella Maris Foundation\n\nvia dei Giacinti 2,\n\n56128 Calambrone (Pisa) - Italy\n\n<a href=\"mailto:daniele.galatolo@fsm.unipi.it\">daniele.galatolo@fsm.unipi.it<\/a>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Dr Giulia De Rosi<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Co-project investigator<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-21106 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/arsacs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Giulia-De-Riso--150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"192\" height=\"192\" \/><!--more-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The overall aim of this project is to identify the potential role of DNA methylation changes as biomarker of ARSACS progression.
