Rare Autosomal Dominant Disease Gene Identification
Autosomal dominant disease means one of the two copies (monoallelic) of a given gene on the autosome has a defect that causes the disease. Our company has extensive expertise in rare disease target identification, particularly in rare autosomal dominant disease gene identification, our flexible solutions can provide efficient methods to expand your discovery and identification of rare disease targets, and accelerate your development of rare disease therapy.
Introduction to Rare Autosomal Dominant Diseases
Individuals affected by rare autosomal dominant disease are usually heterozygous, with a normal allele and a defective allele. In some cases, rare autosomal dominant disorders are caused by de novo mutation (DNM) in the germ cells of one of the parents or early embryonic development, these diseases are considered to be sporadic disorders. Many diseases affecting various biological pathways in different organs follow autosomal dominant inheritance.

(Wang, Gang, et al., 2022)Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) strategy is a rapid, effective, and reliable tool to detect known and novel mutations in cases of rare autosomal dominant and sporadic diseases. With the implementation of more advanced and sophisticated molecular techniques such as NGS, it is possible to increase understanding of the pathogenesis of rare autosomal dominant diseases.
Challenges in the Study of Rare Autosomal Dominant Diseases
Defective copies of a given gene can lead to autosomal dominant disorders through three main mechanisms, namely haploinsufficiency, dominant negative, or gain-of-function effects. Although partial explanations for the underlying causes of diseases have been obtained, the identification of causative genes and a deeper mechanistic understanding of biological processes are still necessary. Rare dominant and sporadic diseases also pose additional challenges, including incomplete penetrance, variable expressivity, hypomorphic alleles, and mosaicism.
Our Services
