About this study

The advent of high throughput genomic DNA sequencing has led to major advances in the diagnosis of genetic diseases of heterogeneous origin. Thus, our hospital laboratory has developed in recent years several diagnostic tests based on the targeted sequencing of coding sequences of gene panels (from about twenty genes for DNA repair diseases to nearly five hundred genes for the intellectual disability). These targeted analyzes, carried out by capture, have thus solved 25 to 80% of the cases according to the indications, without allowing the diagnosis of the totality of the patients.

For these negative cases, the search for mutations in the coding sequences was then extended to Whole Exome Sequencing, thus providing several additional diagnoses.

Patients still remain without diagnosis after this exome study. These could be complex cases of genetic or even non-genetic origin, but also monogenic pathologies linked to mutations that are not identifiable by coding sequence analyzes, and especially affecting messenger RNAs.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of DNA Sequencing and Diagnosis of Genetic Diseases of Heterogeneous Origin, run by University Hospital, Strasbourg, France at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Jun 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

RNA sequencing (time frame: 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Jun 2019.
