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.

Genetics and Pathophysiology of Premature Aging
Progeria, the phenomenon of premature aging, is an ultra-rare genetic condition. A recent study reported mutations in MTX2 as the cause of a novel progeroid syndrome and revealed mitochondrial dysfunction as contributing to the pathophysiology in progeria. The study, which utilized CENTOGNE’s…
