The importance of COST Action Networks in increasing research collaborations for rare diseases
In the context of research and especially in the case of research into rare diseases, the COST Action Projects (Cooperation in Science and Technology) are key to fostering transnational cooperation. This is the message that a group of Spanish scientists, which includes Dr Gisela Nogales, have sent in a letter recently published in The Lancet Neurology.
The Hereditary Cancer group expands the use of its gene panel to test for more RASopathies
In 2017 the team designed and tested a gene panel to standardize and simplify genetic testing for hereditary cancer in collaboration with the ICO. In the current work the group has validated and extended the use of this panel in the routine genetic testing for different RASopathies. These are other genetic diseases caused by mutations in genes of the Ras/MAPK pathway for which patients exhibit an overlapping clinical presentation with NF1, especially in children.
