Notable Projects

 

On one hand, we have managed to document the existence of comorbidities related to epilepsy. In fact, we are evaluating whether these are actually pleotropic manifestations of the same epileptic seizures. Additionally, we have identified that the genetic variants that contribute to the susceptibility to develop epilepsy are not equal to those reported in other population groups around the world. On the other hand, we have identified that the patterns of genetic mixing of Colombian children with type 1 diabetes mellitus will help identify the genetic architecture of this disease in our population. We have also identified a new gene related to this disease, which has only been seen for our population thus far.
