Course and current status
Mathieu FIORE was trained in Medicine (Paris, 1995-2002).

Scientific summary
Mathieu FIORE works in the field of platelet disorders. Most of his involvement over the last fifteen years was on inherited diseases, such as Glanzmann thrombasthenia, a period during which he gradually established the thorough analysis of the platelet genes for diagnosis purposes. This nowadays includes the systematic search for point mutations and gene rearrangements in more than 60 genes. Considering that about 50% of patients remain without a molecular diagnosis, his present work focusses on the search for new genes by exome and candidate gene approaches.
