The BOVIRAM project, led by Genosalut Balears together with OCCS Menorca, develops new molecular diagnostic tools to detect antimicrobial resistance in dairy cattle. This One Health initiative is key to promoting the responsible use of antibiotics, improving animal health, and strengthening food safety in the Balearic Islands.
Genosalut and OMS42 have joined forces to offer more comprehensive and personalised care to people with neurological diseases. Thanks to this collaboration, OMS42’s clinical expertise is combined with Genosalut’s genetic diagnosis and counselling, making it possible to better understand the origin of each case and to identify treatment options that are more closely tailored to the needs of each patient and their family.
Hereditary cancer accounts for a significant proportion of all cancer cases, and its impact on families and prevention strategies is considerable. Understanding the genetic basis of the disease allows us to take early action, improve diagnosis, and offer personalized treatments tailored to each person’s specific risk. In the following post, you will discover everything you need to know.
Lynch syndrome is the most common form of hereditary colorectal cancer. It is caused by mutations in DNA repair genes and increases the risk of colon cancer, endometrial cancer, and other tumors. It is inherited in an autosomal-dominant manner, and genetic testing helps identify people at risk so that more effective prevention and surveillance strategies can be implemented.
A new rare neurodevelopmental disorder caused by a defect in the ESAM gene has been discovered. Affected individuals show profound global developmental delay, epilepsy, severe speech absence or delay, spasticity and intracranial hemorrhages. Exome/genome sequencing is confirmed as a key diagnostic tool.
Rare diseases pose a challenge for physicians. However, in recent years, two very important diagnostic support tools have taken hold: exome and genome analysis. These technologies make it possible to determine the cause in a considerable proportion (up to 40%) of undiagnosed patients, and more importantly, often with findings that allow therapeutic measures to be taken to tackle the disease.
What is OLITECH? OLITECH is a research and development project that represents the continuation of a collaboration between INAGEA (Institute for Agri-environmental Research and Water Management) and Genosalut (biotechnology company in the Balearic Islands). Molecular techniques for the early detection of pathogens will contribute to the control of plant diseases and allow a more rational use of conventional chemical agents
What is azoospermia? Doctors speak of azoospermia when no sperm are found in the semen. Men with azoospermia are infertile. However, those affected do not have to completely abandon their desire to become fathers. There are procedures that make pregnancy possible, such as hormone therapy or performing a testicular biopsy to extract spermatozoa that can be used for assisted reproduction.
What are aneuplodies? The cells of the human body contain 23 pairs of chromosomes (46 chromosomes in total). Half of these 46 chromosomes come from the mother and the other half from the father. Chromosomes contain our genetic material with all the information necessary for the correct development and functioning of the organism. The chromosome pairs 1 to 22 are
What is fetal DNA testing in maternal blood? Fetal DNA testing, also known as non-invasive prenatal testing, is used to clarify some genetic diseases of the foetus from maternal blood. In particular, these foetal DNA tests are used to analyse the most common trisomies and numerical alterations of the sex chromosomes. In some cases they also detect other chromosomal abnormalities
High-reliability test for the detection of coronaviruses on surfaces In these times that encourage change and sometimes even reinvention, Sinergies and Genosalut, two Mallorcan companies based in Palma, have established a collaboration agreement. The union has been made possible thanks to the platform promoted by the Institut d’Innovació Empresarial (IDI) of the Govern de les Illes Balears. This platform was
What do the SARS-CoV2 coronavirus tests detect? Surely in recent weeks you have heard about RT-PCR, serological tests, rapid tests, ELISA… but what are all these tests? What do they detect? How do they work? Are they reliable?Below, we will try to give you a summary to clarify some concepts. The tests currently available detect: ● The virus itself: its
GenoMaterniT+, a safe and reliable non-invasive prenatal test GenoMaterniT+ is a non-invasive prenatal test that allows early detection of trisomies of chromosomes 21, 18, 13, X and Y in the foetus. It is performed on a sample of maternal blood between weeks 10 and 24 of gestation. For this purpose, free foetal DNA in maternal blood is analysed by means
GenoNatal® is an expanded neonatal screening test that can detect 43 congenital metabolic diseases, food intolerances such as coeliac disease and lactose intolerance, and genetic deafness. What is a metabolic disorder? Metabolic diseases are rare disorders in which the body is unable to transform food properly. As a result, there is a build-up of compounds in the blood causing toxicity
