Genomic and Genetic Disorders Biobank

The Genomic and Genetic Disorders Biobank (GGDB, formerly Genomic Disorders Biobank) was established in 2006 as an internal bioresource supported by own database, to collect and store biospecimens from genomic-disorder (e.g. microdeletion and duplication syndromes) affected individuals. Since 2009 the Bioresource has joined the Telethon Network of Genetic Biobanks and has expanded the collection to include also genetic mendelian diseases. The GGDB gathers wholly annotated clinical and longitudinal data and biological samples from affected and healthy donors, according to standard ethical principles. Biospecimens are available to the international scientific community for research projects in the field of the pathologies collected and stored in GGDB. Published on 2015-03-20 13:50:31
