UK research effort finds 141 new rare disease-gene associations

March 3, 2025
By Nuala Moran
Whole genome sequencing has substantially accelerated the pace of discovery of genes that cause rare diseases, but while this has brought the diagnostic odyssey of some patients to a conclusion, 50% to 80% remain undiagnosed after initial analysis.

UK research effort finds 141 new rare disease-gene associations

Feb. 27, 2025
By Nuala Moran
Whole genome sequencing has substantially accelerated the pace of discovery of genes that cause rare diseases, but while this has brought the diagnostic odyssey of some patients to a conclusion, 50% to 80% remain undiagnosed after initial analysis. Researchers in the U.K. have now developed a new framework for analyzing sequence data at a cohort level. Applying this method to almost 35,000 undiagnosed rare disease patients led to the identification of 141 new disease-gene associations.

Inocras launches ‘panel-free’ whole genome MRD test for cancer

Nov. 1, 2024
By Marian (YoonJee) Chu
For Inocras Inc., the benefits of whole genome sequencing are two-fold. First is its explicit usefulness in diagnosing and treating hard-to-treat diseases like cancer and rare diseases. The second, less apparent, benefit lies in the data generated in the process, and its applications to current and future generations of cancer patients.
