DBGen presents a research optimizing the genetic diagnosis of color vision deficiency

09/07/19 - DBGen, Genetic Diagnosis, Research,

DBGen is committed to the quality of genetic diagnosis and its major goal since the beginning of the company is to remain at the forefront of innovation, prioritize resolution of difficult cases, and optimize methodologies that increase the diagnostic yield of inherited ocular diseases. These objectives are clearly attainable due to the high expertise in the field of genetic diagnosis...

Macular Week: Recent advances in pharmacotherapy for Stargardt disease

25/06/19 - Research, Patients, Stargardt,

Macular Week is all about sensitizing and informing patients, associations, professionals and society of latest achievements on macular degenerative pathologies. In this publication, we will focus on the news on orphan drugs that are currently in the clinical or preclinical phase for the treatment of Stargardt disease. Stargardt disease, the most common inherited macular dystrophy, is characterized by the progressive...

DBGen and the UB-CIBERER U-718 group present their current research in genetic diagnosis and animal models of inherited retinal dystrophies in ARVO 2019

13/05/19 - DBGen, Genetic Diagnosis, Retinal Dystrophy, Research, Gene Therapy,

Dr. Gemma Marfany (co-founder and scientific board member of DBGen) presented an oral communication in ARVO 2019 (held in Vancouver, 2-6 May) to show the most prominent results of the research that his group at the UB-CIBERER (U-718) and DBGEN are currently undertaking to study inherited retinal dystrophies. This work is focused on improved genetic diagnosis and the generation of...

RPGeNet v2.0 allows visualizing interactions of more than 270 causative genes of inherited retinal dystrophies

30/04/19 - Retinal Dystrophy, Research,

RPGeNet is a network dedicated to provide a graphical platform that links retinal dystrophies causative genes with their molecular interactors. The aim of this network is granting researchers a tool that allows them to understand the pathological process in its cellular and histological context, highlight key molecular players of retinal degeneration and unveil new candidate genes of these diseases (Boloc...

First patient treated in ProQR STELLAR phase 1/2 gene therapy clinical trial for Usher Syndrome Type II

13/03/19 - Retinal Dystrophy, Research, Gene Therapy,

Usher syndrome is a genetic disorder that presents recessive inheritance and is characterized by hearing loss and retinitis pigmentosa, traits that may be total or partial. The prevalence of this disease is 1: 30,000 individuals considering the three types of USHER identified, the most common being type II (60% of cases), caused mostly by the USH2A gene. There was no...

Relevance of the identification and characterization of deep-intronic mutations

19/02/19 - Genetic Diagnosis, Retinal Dystrophy, Research, Mutation, Patients,

Genes are DNA sequences that contain information for the synthesis of proteins and they are composed of exonic and intronic sequences. The exons possess the information used for the protein synthesis, whereas the introns, although they do not contain information translated into protein, they play an important role to ensure their correct formation. Each gene has several exons interspersed between...
