Utilization of CentoMD® in Scientific Settings
The interpretation of newly observed genetic variants that are suspected to cause disease requires knowledge about their occurrence in different populations. CENTOGENE’s uniquely rich and diverse […]
Genetic Cause of Impaired Neurodevelopment
Development of the nervous system is a complex process, with NEUROG1 being one out of many genes involved. The critical role of this gene was recently confirmed by CENTOGENE, when a patient with […]
A Rare Genetic Disease in Which Symptoms Naturally Improve
While most genetic disorders progress from mild to severe, a certain form of muscle disease was suggested to represent an exception. However, this was based on observations in only two patients. As a […]
Disturbed Growth Signaling Linked to a Novel Disorder
Most studies that report novel gene-disease associations lack functional insights. A recent exception is a high impact paper on a skeletal dysplasia caused by recessive variants in SCUBE3. In a […]
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 […]
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 […]
