Introduction
This training is given in the form of a "Winter School", within the framework of the Graduate School of Life and Health Sciences of Université Côte d'Azur. It combines research and training with the intervention of experts in the field of mitochondrial diseases. It aims to stimulate reflection and exchanges with national and international researchers who will present their work on mitochondrial functions and dysfunctions.
The "research" part will take place in the morning, in the form of conferences. The afternoons will be devoted to the "training" part which will be provided by national experts involved in reference centers on mitochondrial diseases. The objective is to study specific cases and to learn more about these diseases and the ways of caring for patients.
Objectives
The training should enable participants to :
- Diagnose and manage a patient (child or adult) suffering from mitochondrial disease
- Understand the interest of new approaches (high throughput sequencing, functional studies...) to optimize the diagnosis of these diseases
- To address the issues of genetic counseling and methods of ante-natal diagnosis of these diseases
- To understand the new mechanisms recently described as being at the origin of these diseases
