Broader Applicability of Rare Disease Biomarker
Biomarkers have the potential to serve numerous purposes (diagnosis, prognosis, monitoring, etc.) when well-characterized in large cohorts of patients and controls. Building on its rich source of […]
Innovative Treatment of a Severe Disease
Exploratory innovative treatments are often pursued and justified in diseases that are associated with fatal outcomes in early childhood. CENTOGENE is proud to have contributed to a pertinent success […]
In-Depth Characterization of a Novel Disease
Establishing a novel gene-disease link has immediate diagnostic implications, while therapeutic considerations require functional insights beyond genotype and phenotype. CENTOGENE researchers […]
Contributions to WGS Guidelines for Rare Disease Diagnostics
Proper genetic diagnostics relies on up-to-date guidelines. These have recently been revised for Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) by a panel of European experts. CENTOGENE’s Chief Genomic and Medical […]
Increasing Disease Insights by Describing Large Patient Cohorts
A deep understanding of a specific rare disorder is usually hampered by the small size of available patient cohorts. CENTOGENE was able to leverage its Biodatabank to overcome this obstacle for […]
Novel Genotype-Phenotype Association with Wide-Ranging Implications
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most prevalent autosomal recessive genetic disorder; it has been assumed to be genetically homogeneous. Researchers at CENTOGENE, however, have now identified a second CF […]
Defining the Clinical Spectrum of Rare Disorders
Many rare disorders, despite being considered syndromic, may manifest with only a single clinical symptom. A CENTOGENE-led epidemiological clinical study provided impressive evidence for the […]
Linking Seizures and Amino Acid Homeostasis
Seizures are part of the phenotypic spectrum in numerous rare disorders, but the underlying pathophysiology is rarely understood. For a novel seizure syndrome, the transmembrane transport of certain […]
Combining Genetic Insights and Therapeutic Efforts
The delineation of a novel rare disease is commonly a stand-alone research project. An international consortium, in which CENTOGENE played a major role, showcased how disease discovery can […]
