Ongoing project

  • Genetical analysis of ankylosing spondylitis in the Algerian population (Pr. A. Boudjema, Oran, Algeria)
    • Analysis of CTLA4 polymorphisms
    • Characterization of CNVs in CCL3L1, FCGR3A and FCGR3B genes
  • Analysis of candidate genes’ CNVs in nasopharyngeal carcinoma, Tunisian population (Dr. E. Hassen, Medicine Faculty, Monastir, Tunisia)
    • Study of GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes
