An Extended Intellectual Disability Phenotype
Intellectual disability (ID) is amongst the most frequent symptoms of syndromic genetic disorders. Analyzing a multi-generational family, CENTOGENE identified a homozygous nonsense variant in TRAPPC9 […]
Defective mRNA Translation and Neurodegeneration
Based on their size and inability to renew, nerve cells are highly vulnerable to defects in many cellular processes, including the translation of mRNA. A recent study involving several researchers […]
Genetic Confirmation to Solidify Expert Clinical Suspicion
Expert physicians are able to clinically recognize even rare congenital conditions. In saying that, CENTOGENE still advises targeted genetic follow-up aimed at confirming the suspicion, as well as […]
A Case Report with High Scientific Value
The value of a case report can be correlated with the rarity of the disorder it covers. A recent paper, which was triggered by a genetic diagnosis issued at CENTOGENE, is of rather high value in this […]
Joining Forces to Understand Ultra-Rare Disorders
Certain genetic disorders are too rare to be investigated in several patients by single centers. Uniform scientific descriptions thus require global collaborations. A pertinent success story, in […]
One Genetic Variant – 52 Patients
Schuurs-Hoeijmakers syndrome is one of the few inherited disorders that have been associated with only a single genetic variant. A recent study describes 16 pertinent patients, most of whom were […]
Genetic Causes for Late Onset Neuropathy
Slowly progressive health issues in the elderly are usually equated to a general age-related decline. In some patients, however, these health issues may be manifestations of late onset genetic […]
Novel X-linked Syndrome Identified
Defects in many X-chromosomal genes are known to cause neurodevelopmental problems in males. A further example was recently identified at CENTOGENE when conducting an depth investigation of 13 […]
Expanding the Genetics of Impaired Neurodevelopment
The nervous system is particularly vulnerable to genetic defects, and novel pertinent gene-disease associations are still being discovered. A recent example is the link between impaired […]
