The Unit of Genetics for Clinical Research is responsible for coordinating the Disease Registries for rare diseases that have a genetic component that are studied at the centre.

The goal is to support the development and implementation of basic and clinical research projects, working closely with both the Centre for Human Genetics and the Laboratory of Haematology and Haemo coagulation at the Bergamo branch of the Mario Negri Institute.

The unit also supports the Centre for Human Genetics in providing, in agreement with the Italian National Health Service (SSN), specialised outpatient services concerning highly specialised genetic and biochemical tests/research.

Unit staff are involved in handling inquiries for genetically based conditions as part of the Rare Disease Helpline’s work.
