The Laboratory of Human Molecular Genetics

The Laboratory of Human Molecular Genetics at Pasteur Institute of Morocco, study the molecular mechanisms behind various inherited diseases in the Moroccan population. The basic aim of our research is to increase our knowledge on the molecular causes of these diseases, thereby helping to design diagnostic assays, prevention and therapy. The central topics of our research include the molecular investigation of hereditary deafness and type 2 diabetes and also the role of the Y chromosome in sex determination and male infertility
