CASE STORIES

Findings that changed what clinical teams could do next.

RARE GENETIC SYNDROME
"They never added the numbers up until now, when they saw the Dante Labs report."
Thomas Scotland · Queen Elizabeth University Hospital Glasgow

Thomas had spent years in clinical investigation. The presenting picture was complex — a constellation of findings that individually pointed in different directions and, taken together, had not resolved into a diagnosis. Standard pathways had been followed. Specialist referrals made. Results reviewed and returned inconclusive.

Thomas ordered Dante Genome Test. The results were submitted to the NHS genetics team at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital Glasgow.

The team identified two findings: variants associated with Noonan Syndrome, and a RUNX1 deficiency — a genetic marker associated with hereditary leukaemia risk. Neither finding had emerged from any previous investigation. Two conditions, from a single test, reviewed and accepted by the NHS clinical team at a named institution.

Genetic Finding

RUNX1 · Noonan Syndrome

Two distinct variants identified in a single test — Noonan Syndrome and a RUNX1 deficiency associated with hereditary leukaemia risk. Neither had emerged from any prior investigation.

Dante's Genome Test data was accepted by NHS genetics at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital Glasgow as the basis for identifying Noonan Syndrome and RUNX1 deficiency. The clinical action — diagnosis and subsequent management — was taken by the NHS team. Dante's role was to produce the genomic data. This is a documented clinical outcome attributed to a named institution — not a general endorsement of Dante Labs by the NHS.

CHILDHOOD EPILEPSY
"The diagnosis was life-changing. Today my daughter is living a better life."
Angela's mother Verbatim

Angela's daughter was four years old when the seizures began. The episodes were sudden, accompanied by other neurological effects. Consultations with multiple doctors followed. Several medications were tried. The effects were limited. The source of the condition remained unidentified.

Her mother chose Dante's genetic analysis — the epilepsy and neurological conditions panel, which surveys 128 genes. Results were delivered twelve weeks after submission. A geneticist reviewed the report and found it "very informative with comprehensive actionable information."

The finding: GLUT-1 deficiency — a specific form of epilepsy caused by insufficient glucose reaching the brain. The diagnosis changed the treatment plan. A ketogenic diet was introduced. Anticonvulsant medications were reduced.

Genetic Finding

GLUT-1 Deficiency

Epilepsy caused by insufficient glucose transport to the brain — identified via 128-gene epilepsy panel. Enabled switch from anticonvulsant medication to a targeted ketogenic diet.

The genetic report identified a diagnosis where years of clinical investigation had not. The treatment change — ketogenic diet and medication reduction — was directed by the clinical team acting on this finding. Full verbatim account: "My daughter was four years old when she suddenly started to present seizures and other associated neurological conditions. We consulted many doctors and she took multiple drugs, but with limited effects. Not knowing what to do, I decided to opt for the Dante Labs Analysis... We brought it to a geneticist to get an opinion and he found the reports very informative with comprehensive actionable information and ended up with a final diagnosis."

BREAST CANCER
"Two years before my diagnosis, I had already sequenced my genome. When cancer came, that data was there."
Jennifer Paraphrase — confirm verbatim with Ripo before publication

Jennifer sequenced her whole genome with Dante in 2019. Two years later, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

When oncology treatment was being planned, her clinical team accessed the pharmacogenomics analysis from her existing genome data. The analysis identified that the standard chemotherapy drug she had been prescribed would cause serious adverse effects due to her specific genetic profile.

An alternative drug was selected — a better fit for her genetic makeup. Treatment began immediately, without the time lost to a failed first attempt. The genome data from 2019 was the asset that made this decision possible before treatment started.

Genetic Finding

Pharmacogenomics — Chemotherapy Incompatibility

Pre-existing genomic data flagged a serious adverse reaction risk to the prescribed chemotherapy drug. An alternative agent was selected before treatment began — avoiding a failed first attempt.

Jennifer's pre-existing genome data, sequenced two years before her cancer diagnosis, provided her clinical team with pharmacogenomics information at the moment it was needed. The treatment decision was made by her oncologist. Dante's data was the clinical input. This case demonstrates the permanent value of genomic data generated at any point prior to a clinical event.

PATIENT VOICES

The results that changed what was possible.

"You save lives." — Dante Labs customer

One result. Three kits ordered for family members the same week.

"Having seen how useful your reports are and having been identified as having long QT Syndrome, I have ordered 3 more test kits for family members. Despite my initial poor experience with Dante, I am pleased I stuck with you, as my results might just save a life in my family as this is the first time KCNQ1 has been raised."

Years of symptoms. An answer that matched, across two generations.

"After years of trying to find out what was wrong with my kids and I, thanks to Dante Labs we now have an answer. Our symptoms match the results. We are in Australia and are now waiting on specialists."

More comprehensive than anything their healthcare system had delivered.

"We received our tailored rare disease report this morning. It is exactly what we needed. The results look like they will be very helpful and are more comprehensive than we have had within our own healthcare system."

NEUROLOGICAL CONDITION
"We finally had something concrete — a name, a cause, a reason."
Zarnish's family

Zarnish was born of a consanguineous marriage. From early development, she showed difficulty sitting independently, holding her head, and bearing weight. She had left-side weakness and spasticity, and was unable to walk without support. The clinical picture pointed toward a neurological condition without a confirmed genetic basis.

Genome Test identified a homozygous missense variant in the GJC2 gene — a finding closely associated with Leukodystrophy, a condition affecting the myelin sheath of the nervous system. The symptoms associated with this variant — nystagmus, impaired motor development, progressive spasticity — were consistent with Zarnish's clinical presentation.

The GJC2 finding established the genetic basis for what was being observed. A targeted care pathway was developed. Early specialist intervention was possible because the genetic cause had been identified.

Genetic Finding

GJC2

Homozygous missense variant — closely associated with Leukodystrophy. Explains presenting symptoms: nystagmus, impaired motor development, progressive spasticity.

The Genome Test result provided the genetic evidence that grounded Zarnish's clinical presentation in a specific, characterised condition. The care pathway was developed by her clinical team on the basis of this finding. Early intervention — made possible by early identification — is the direct clinical benefit in this case.

CONGENITAL DEAFNESS
"At twelve months, we had an answer. We could finally move forward."
Leon's family

Leon was twelve months old when medical professionals were unable to identify the cause of his deafness. Tests had been run. The clinical picture remained unexplained. An answer was needed to define any path forward.

Genome Test identified a pathogenic homozygous variant in the GJB2 gene — associated with Bart-Pumphrey syndrome and congenital deafness. The finding was not ambiguous. A genetic basis for Leon's deafness was established.

A clear clinical pathway for treatment and care was established. Early intervention — from the earliest stage of life — was now possible because the genetic cause had been identified rather than remaining unexplained.

Genetic Finding

GJB2

Pathogenic homozygous variant — associated with Bart-Pumphrey syndrome and congenital deafness. Identified at 12 months, enabling intervention at the earliest possible stage.

The GJB2 finding gave Leon's clinical team a defined diagnosis at twelve months — an age when early intervention produces the greatest long-term benefit. The care decisions were made by his clinical team on the basis of the genomic finding. This case demonstrates the specific value of Genome Test for paediatric presentations where standard investigation does not yield a diagnosis.
