The GENESKIN project is dedicated to the prevention and treatment of rare, inherited disorders affecting the skin. In particular, the GENESKIN project aims to:
- improve knowledge and facilitate access to information for both patients and health professionals, including through the organization of training for the latter;
- improve diagnosis through the standardization of diagnostic tools and the set-up of protocols;
- encourage and strengthen international cooperation between patients’ organizations and professionals involved in the management of genodermatoses;
- aid surveillance of rare diseases
By actively supporting collaboration between expert groups and communication between professionals and non-professionals, the GENESKIN project seeks to provide for early standardised diagnosis of inherited skin disorders and for cost-effective management at European level. In fact, by bypassing the problems related to the rarity of inherited skin diseases, the GENESKIN clinical and research network contributes to the rapid translation of emerging gene discovery and gene function findings into clinical applications that are relevant to accurate, rapid and early diagnosis, and improved management.
