The ECDGA is honored to be funding this groundbreaking work and believes it will result in a brighter future for ECD patients and a better understanding of histiocytosis. View Press Release<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Interim Report<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The project entitled \u201cExploring the genetic landscape of Erdheim-Chester disease by integrating GWAS and -omic data\u201d was designed to investigate the genetic predisposition to ECD by performing methylation and gene expression studies. The genome-wide association study on ECD, whose results have been presented at the 2023 ECDGA meeting and are currently submitted for publication, identified a genetic variant (SETBP1) associated with ECD predisposition. We are now analyzing methylome and gene expression from patients to better understand the role of SETBP1 in disease pathogenesis. The same analyses will be performed on the most important cell type in ECD (monocytes), and, to complete this task, we are currently performing sampling and monocyte extraction from patients with ECD. These samples will be then shipped to Prof. Martin\u2019s lab where the genetic analyses will be performed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Francesco Pegoraro vom Universit\u00e4tskinderkrankenhaus Meyer in Florenz, Italien, erh\u00e4lt einen Zuschuss der ECD Global Alliance in H\u00f6he von $50.000 zur Erforschung der genetischen Grundlagen der Erdheim-Chester-Krankheit.
