CENTOGENE has published data from its Rostock International Parkinson's Disease (ROPAD) Study in The Lancet Neurology, supporting the association of a RAB32 gene mutation with Parkinson's disease (PD). The study analyzed Whole Genome Sequencing data from 3,354 PD patients, revealing that nine patients (0.3% of the cohort) carried the RAB32 c.213C>G mutation. This prevalence is significantly higher than the 0.002% found in general population databases.
Key findings include:
- The mutation's causal role in Parkinson's disease is supported
- Age at onset did not differ between mutation-positives and negatives
- Gender proportions and certain clinical characteristics differed
- The RAB32 Ser71Arg-associated haplotype supports a single founder mutational event
CENTOGENE has launched a ROPAD Consortium to continue driving PD research and treatment through collaborative efforts, aiming to streamline access to critical data and improve the potential for advancing treatment options.
CENTOGENE N.V., a life science company specializing in rare and neurodegenerative diseases, has received a delisting notice from Nasdaq due to non-compliance with the minimum USD 15 million market value requirement for publicly held shares.

CENTOGENE N.V. (Nasdaq: CNTG) has published groundbreaking data from its Rostock International Parkinson's Disease (ROPAD) Study in the Brain journal. The study reveals that approximately 15% of Parkinson's disease (PD) cases are linked to genetic factors, with about 90% of these genetically confirmed patients having variants in the LRRK2 or GBA1 genes. This discovery highlights the importance of genetic testing in PD patient care and opens up possibilities for gene-targeted clinical trials.
The study, which involved over 12,500 patients from 16 countries, investigated variants in 50 genes associated with PD. The findings underscore the need to integrate genetic testing into routine care for PD patients, potentially enabling access to available treatments and accelerating the development of gene-specific therapies. CENTOGENE has also launched a ROPAD Consortium to further drive PD research and treatment through collaborative efforts.
