The German Human Genome-Phenome Archive (GHGA)’s Post

On today’s Rare Disease Day, we join in to shed light on the approximately 300 million patients worldwide with a Rare Disease. On average, it takes around seven years until a patient is diagnosed. Genomic analysis can help to reduce that time significantly.  To share genomic data between researchers and clinicians more easily and efficiently, GHGA is currently building an omics data platform in Germany for sharing and research. By bringing many rare cases together, we can open up opportunities for more research into these diseases. ACHSE e.V.

  • 72% of all rare diseases are genetic. Whilst others are the result of infections (bacterial or viral), allergies and environmental causes or are rare cancers.
