Transcriptomic Analysis of Fibroblasts and Blood in Patients With Rare Diseases

About this study

This study aims to answer a key question in the field of rare genetic diseases by determining the prevalence of deleterious variants at RNA level in undiagnosed patients with intellectual disability and/or neonatal hypotonia. This study will put an end to diagnostic erraticism in a number of patients.

Finally, the results of this study will make it possible to compare the two types of tissue used for RNAseq, with a view to facilitating the implementation of this analysis method in the diagnostic setting.
