Functional Study to Indentify Genetic Etiology of Rare Diseases - ORIGIN

Not Applicable
Recruiting
Conditions
Genetic Disease
Rare Diseases
Interventions
Procedure: Skin biopsy, blood sample, urine sample
Registration Number
NCT05499091
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Angers
Brief Summary

Next generation sequencing (NGS) allows some better diagnostic results, particularly, in the rare diseases field. At a twenty five percent rate, those exams highlight some variants which are not yet described in human pathology. The relationship between a variant found inside a candidate gene and a pathology, is able to be confirmed by functional studies at a protein level. This study aims to build a biological collection to feed further functional studies to confirm the relationship between NGS identified variants, and the clinical signs and symptoms.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Identification of at least 80 new genes implicated in rare diseases via high-throughput sequencing technics and through functional studies.23 years

Candidate genes, suspected to be responsible for rare diseases will be identified before the inclusion, during standard medical care, by exome or genome sequencing.

Collecting biological samples to build up a biobank23 years

After a candidat gene identification, patient will be proposed sampling (blood or urine) or if a skin biopsy, an amniotic fluid puncture or any surgery are done during standard care, the remaing tissue or fluid, or operative wastes will be eligible too, to be stored in the biobank.

Candidat gene validation through functional studies.23 years

Biological samples from the biobank will be made available after the study, to some specialized research teams, in order to validate or overturn those previously gene candidates by the way of some biological technics.
