FAHN/SPG35: a narrow phenotypic spectrum across disease classifications
Major problems with rare diseases are related to the paucity and the heterogeneity of scientific publications. Standardized large-scale data compilation is one approach to overcome these issues. […]
A hexanucleotide repeat modifies expressivity of X-linked dystonia parkinsonism
Disease expressivity varies widely in many genetic disorders, and identifying the underlying modifiers holds great translational potential. Based on its resources as regards technologies and samples, […]
A homozygous frameshift variant in an alternatively spliced exon of DLG5 causes hydrocephalus and renal dysplasia
Based on the ambition to provide maximum diagnostic yield, CENTOGENE offers follow up of negative WES/WGS reports in a research setting. Recently, this approach resulted in the association of a […]
Prodromal substantia nigra sonography undermines suggested association between substrate accumulation and the risk for GBA‐related Parkinson's disease
Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Gaucher disease are amongst the primary research foci at Centogene. As both conditions may be caused by mutations in the GBA gene, a common pathomechanism is widely […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
