HILDEN, Germany and LONDON, January 30, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
QIAGEN N.V. (NASDAQ: QGEN; Frankfurt Prime Standard: QIA) today announced that Genomics England has selected QIAGEN's HGMD® Human Gene Mutation Database for its 100,000 Genomes Project. HGMD is the leading content knowledgebase for interpretation of genomic data in hereditary and rare diseases, providing a deep resource of expertly curated data from the world's scientific and clinical literature.
The 100,000 Genomes Project will use QIAGEN's HGMD Online Professional solution, which is part of the QIAGEN Clinical Insight (QCI) portfolio of solutions for the interpretation of complex genomic data, to support scientists, clinicians and researchers in 13 NHS Genomic Medicine Centres for clinical reporting and interpretation.
"Rare and hereditary diseases can lock patients, families and healthcare providers in a long, difficult diagnostic odyssey, and 100,000 Genomes is a cutting-edge NHS program to gather and analyze whole genomes from a large cohort of patients in search of causes and future treatments," said Dr. Laura Furmanski, Senior Vice President and Head of QIAGEN's Bioinformatics Business Area. "We are honored to deepen our collaboration with Genomics England.
