Solve-RD published a series of papers in the EJHG
For the first time in Europe hundreds of rare disease experts team up to actively share and jointly analyze existing data from unsolved rare disease patients. The Solve-RD project published a series of papers in the European Journal of Human Genetics describing the new approach and the structures established to warrant best exchange of expertise. Involved in the project are data scientists and genomics experts as well as expert clinicians and geneticists from the European Reference Networks (ERNs). In an accompanying paper the first results of the approach to solve rare diseases through programmatic reanalysis of genome-phenome data are described. In addition, four case reports from the ERNs show the advantage of the approach and provide details why the patients have only now received their diagnosis.
