Utility and implications of exome sequencing in early-onset Parkinson's disease.
Although the genetic load is high in early-onset Parkinson’s disease, thorough investigation of the genetic diagnostic yield has yet to be established. The objectives of this study were to assess […]
Development of an Evidence-Based Algorithm that Optimizes Sensitivity and Specificity in ES-Based Diagnostics of a Clinically Heterogeneous Patient Population
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is rapidly replacing Sanger sequencing in genetic diagnostics. Sensitivity and specificity of NGS approaches are not well-defined, but can be estimated from applying […]
Role of ANO3 mutations in dystonia: A large-scale mutational screening study
Newly suggested gene-disease associations need confirmatory follow-up by large-scale epidemiological studies; CENTOGENE actively engages in pertinent research projects. A recent example addressed the […]
Evidence-Based Algorithm in ES-Based Diagnostics
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is rapidly replacing Sanger sequencing in genetic diagnostics. Sensitivity and specificity of NGS approaches are not well-defined, but can be estimated from applying […]
HTRA2 Defect: a Recognizable Inborn Error of Metabolism
Neonatal-onset movement disorders, especially in combination with seizures, are rare and often related to mitochondrial disorders. 3-methylglutaconic aciduria (3-MGA-uria) is a marker for […]
A Variant in NUDT2 Causes a Recessive Neurodevelopmental Disorder
A recent study on 337 patients with various forms of intellectual disability proposed the homozygous nonsense variant c.34C>T (p.Arg12*) in NUDT2 to underlie global developmental delay in 2 affected […]
Rapid Intravenous Enzyme Infusion
In the latest issue of American Journal of Hematology, we have published results of recent collaborative study on development of enzyme replacement therapies in Gaucher disease type 1. Together with […]
De Novo ITPR1 Variants Are a Cause of Early-Onset Ataxia
We explored the clinico-genetic basis of spinocerebellar ataxia 29 (SCA29) by determining the frequency, phenotype, and functional impact of ITPR1 missense variants associated with early-onset ataxia […]
Evolution of Outcome Measures in Spinocerebellar Ataxias
To study the long-term evolution of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in the most common spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs), we analyzed 8 years follow-up data of the EUROSCA Natural History […]
