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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Collaborative Discovery of Gene-Disease Associations
The delineation of novel genetic disorders is facilitated by the formation of global research consortia. By actively contributing to collaborative efforts, CENTOGENE has supported dozens of […]
Sharing Diagnostic Insights to Support Rare Disease Patients
Defining a disorder’s complete clinical spectrum requires a detailed description of large numbers of patients. To help advance the understanding of rare diseases, CENTOGENE is committed to leveraging […]
