Mini Wire Lafora Screening - update 21st January

Post date: Jan 23, 2012 7:36:58 PM

The WHDC has posted this update.

As you are all aware, Centogene have had major difficulties completing the testing on the samples we have sent so far. Because of the considerable delays, we have decided to ask the Canadian research facility if they can complete all the swabs we currently have, and for future testing. We are in discussion with Canada to finalise costings, timescales and the possibility of a blood or saliva based carrier test. In the first instance we aim to have a complete set of affected / unaffected results from the swabs sent in so far as soon as possible.

We would like to thank you all for your patience and confirm that we are doing everything we can to get the tests turned around within as short a timescale as possible. As soon as we have any news at all, it will be published here. Individual queries can be directed to any of the team members.
