Updates in Asper Neurogenetics testing menu

Published 21/10/2020

We now offer a new test for Congenital Muscular Dystrophy, which covers 29 genes and disease-associated non-coding variants. Cornelia de Lange Syndrome and Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy panels also include the analysis of non-coding variants. In addition, we have added genes to the Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy gene set.

Hereditary ataxia

Published 20/10/2020

We have expanded our testing options for different types of hereditary ataxia. NGS panel now covers 148 genes and selected non-coding variants associated with spinocerebellar ataxia, episodic ataxia, and cerebellar ataxia. Repeat expansion analysis is available for 14 genes. CNVs are detected based on sequencing data or by Chromosomal Microarray Analysis. Mitochondrial genome sequencing can also be performed to determine the specific genetic cause of hereditary ataxia.

EU60187 Project

Published 22/07/2020

Asper Biogene is working on the new project – „Prototype development of pharmacogenetic test“.

Project goals: 

1. To develop a prototype of pharmacogenetic test to maximize drug efficacy and reduce adverse drug reactions for most common drugs (at least 30 drugs) listed in the internationally agreed pharmacogenetic clinical practice guidelines.

2. To develop medical informatics tools for the automatic generation and sharing of web-based pharmacogenetic test reports with doctors and patients through Health and Welfare Information Systems Centre (HWISC) database.

Project period: 06.07.2020 – 06.01.2021

Project has been supported by Enterprise Estonia (EAS) from The European Regional Development Fund. Financial support is up to 24 500,00 Euros.
