Whole genome sequencing (WGS) provides the most comprehensive genetic testing available for the detection of rare diseases. It identifies more different types of DNA sequence variation and offers greater sensitivity than any other technology available. It is the superior way to diagnose genetically complex and undiagnosed diseases with the highest level of certainty.

Exemplifying the Strengths of Genome Sequencing
Certain genetic variants are easily missed by Exome Sequencing (ES), but readily detected by Genome Sequencing (GS). Utilizing the superiority of the latter technology, CENTOGENE identified such a variant as the cause of a novel disorder. Teaming up with academic colleagues for functional studies on…

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 database - CentoMD® - is frequently encountered by academic consortia in need of such information. A…

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 result of identifying three additional patients, scientists at CENTOGENE have now been able to…
