Genetic Rare Renal Diseases

The Research Group will conduct both experimental (in animal models) and clinical researches on Fabry’s Disease, a hereditary metabolic disorder driven by the deficiency of alpha-galactosidase A and intracellular accumulation of glyco-sphingo-lipids characterized by both systemic and renal involvement, and on Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Renal Disease in the attempt to find out new therapeutic strategies that may improve the course of the disease. Moreover, as Reference Center in Regione Campania, the Research Group will try to establish the real incidence of all the rare diseases affecting the kidney and the urinary tract.
