Overview

Andrea Riccio is affiliated with the University of Campania "Luigi Vanvitelli" in Italy and has a research focus spanning biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and medicine. Their work involves molecular biology, genetics, pediatrics, perinatology, child health, and aspects of public health as well as pulmonary and respiratory medicine.

The scientist has contributed extensively to the study of genetic syndromes and imprinting, epigenetics and DNA methylation, prenatal screening and diagnostics, cancer-related gene regulation, neonatal respiratory health research, tumors and oncological cases, and genomic variations and chromosomal abnormalities.

Andrea Riccio's published work appears frequently in several journals, with multiple articles in Clinical Epigenetics, as well as publications in Genes, Cancers, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), and Epigenetics & Chromatin.

Their recent publications include:

  • Loss-of-function maternal-effect mutations of PADI6 are associated with familial and sporadic Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome with multi-locus imprinting disturbance (2020, Clinical Epigenetics)
  • Imprinting disorders (2023, Nature Reviews Disease Primers)
  • DNA Methylation in the Diagnosis of Monogenic Diseases (2020, Genes)
  • Trans-acting genetic variants causing multilocus imprinting disturbance (MLID): common mechanisms and consequences (2022, Clinical Epigenetics)
  • First step towards a consensus strategy for multi-locus diagnostic testing of imprinting disorders (2022, Clinical Epigenetics)

Andrea Riccio has collaborated frequently with several coauthors, including Flavia Cerrato, Laura Pignata, Francesco Cecere, Angela Sparago, and Silvia Russo. These collaborations have contributed significantly to their body of work on imprinting disorders, epigenetics, and genetic syndromes.
