Ultra-Rare Immune Disorder Uncovered
Homeostasis of the immune system is key for human health. Recently, CENTOGENE carried out an analysis of clinical and genetic data from the CENTOGENE Biodatabank, which enabled the identification of […]
An Encyclopedia for Mass Spectrometry Lipidomics
Mass spectrometry (MS) is a state-of-the art technique to identify and quantify lipid species. This study analyzed this tool to pave the way to better research and health outcomes for patients around […]
Retrospective Diagnosing of Rare Disease Patients
Despite diagnostic exome/genome sequencing, patients remain without a diagnosis when the relevant gene-disease association is not yet known at the time of analysis. CENTOGENE therefore re-evaluates […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Working Towards a Better Understanding of Parkinson’s Disease
Detailed characterization of large patient cohorts in a uniform manner is critical for gaining therapeutically relevant insights into rare diseases. CENTOGENE is a major stakeholder in the LIPAD […]
