Genetic modifiers in hereditary breast cancer
Age at manifestation varies widely in carriers of cancer susceptibility variants. A recent study involving scientists from CENTOGENE suggested that this phenomenon is partially explained by certain […]
Novel neurodevelopmental disorder identified
Numerous genes are important for proper development of the nervous system. As part of an international research team, researchers at CENTOGENE contributed to the identification of a novel cause for […]
High scientific value of CentoMD®
Many of the as yet undescribed genetic disorders are ultra-rare. Identification of novel gene-disease associations thus relies on well-curated clinical-genetic data such as contained in CENTOGENE’s […]
Novel disease gene discovered
The discovery of novel genetic disorders increasingly relies on large databases and on collaborative international efforts. CENTOGENE is proud to be part of numerous pertinent research endeavors. A […]
Optimization of diagnostic yield
The genetic knowledge around rare hereditary diseases is rapidly increasing. Patients having received a negative diagnostic report may thus gain from a re-analysis of their exomes or genomes. A […]
Targeting G Protein-Coupled Receptors
Unbiased chemoproteomic profiling of small-molecule interactions with endogenous proteins is important for drug discovery. For meaningful results, all protein classes have to be tractable, including […]
Unmet Needs in Human Genomic Variant Interpretation
The quality and the precision of a final diagnosis do not consist solely of correct variant classification and clinical interpretation. Diagnosis begins at the preanalytical level, and all subsequent […]
Clinical Exome Sequencing – Results from 2819 Samples Reflecting 1000 Families
A study was conducted using whole exome sequencing (WES) to identify underlying pathogenic variants, or likely pathogenic variants, in 1,000 diagnostic cases from 54 different countries. Patients […]
Global Genotype–Phenotype Database for Rare Diseases
"The ability to discover genetic variants in a patient runs far ahead of the ability to interpret them. Databases with accurate descriptions of the causal relationship between the variants and the […]
