Department activities
The Molecular Genetics Unit at Robert Debré Hospital provides specialised hospital services in molecular biology. It is an accreditated facility for prenatal and postnatal diagnosis of genetic diseases, with a mission to develop the diagnosis and monitoring of rare constitutional and somatic diseases in children, in support of the Rare Disease Networks and Centres of Expertise (CRMR) and specialist departments within its hospital structure.
The UF organises and participates in national and international networks for diagnosis and translational research in the field of rare diseases and leukaemia in children.
The department includes medical staff , non-medical staff and clinical research staff :
- 9 hospital-based medical biologists or university hospital teaching staff in biochemistry – molecular biology at the Paris-Cité Faculty of Medicine
- 21 technicians
- 3 engineers
- 2 CRA
Our clinical research
To evaluate new prognostic factors in childhood ALL as part of large national or international studies, on behalf of the French Society for the Fight against Childhood Cancer and Leukaemia (SFCE).
To decipher RAS-related germline pathologies, such as Noonan syndrome and related RASopathies, and somatic pathologies, such as JMML, with a focus on age-related patterns and the specific involvement of alterations in the myelomonocytic lineage.

Juvenile myelomonocytic leukaemia, a developmental disorder?
An emerging concept in paediatric oncology is that key processes in physiological ontogenesis are hijacked for tumour initiation and/or progression. Our project aims to better understand the link between childhood leukaemia (ALL, JMML) and foetal haematopoiesis.
Marion Strullu / Chloé Arfeuille
Circulating free DNA (cfDNA) and early clonal dynamics in leukaemia
Profiling and fragmentomics of cfDNA in children with ALL to assess tumour spatial heterogeneity and monitor early treatment phases.
Aurélie Caye / Arno Houtman
RASopathies and myelomonocytic lineage
Combining multiomic approaches and a dedicated European registry (RASORES) to evaluate the risk of leukaemia and study how SHP2-driven myelomonocytic lineage defects contribute to age-related diseases
