DECIPHER v11.37 released

DECIPHER v11.37 includes single gene disorder guides produced by Unique, introduces a new Therapies tab displaying approved genetic drugs, and more

Links to single gene disorder guides produced by Unique are now displayed in DECIPHER. Unique is a charity which informs, supports and alleviates the isolation of anyone affected by a rare chromosome or gene disorder associated with learning disability/development delay. Names of relevant guides are displayed on gene pages, therapies tabs and patient records, with links to the applicable guide. Translations are provided when available.

Approved genetic drugs/therapies are now displayed in DECIPHER on a new Therapies tab. These are drugs that have been approved by a regulatory body and curated by the N=1 Collaborative, available through the N1C Gene Registry. The Therapies tab is available from gene pages and patient records.

Links to IEMbase (an expert-curated inborn errors of metabolism knowledge base) and Treatable ID (an information resource for inherited metabolic disorders which are causally related to Intellectual Disability and amenable to therapy) are now displayed on Therapies tabs instead of gene pages.
