The Medical Genome Project (MGP) was the first regional genomics project carried out in Spain, starting by 2010. MGP was an unprecedented study that has tackled the sequencing of hundreds of human genomes of phenotyped sick individuals and control individuals, to develop the technologies to speed up the laborious process of discovering genes responsible for a given disease. This also means exploring new approaches in the development of diagnostic techniques that allow early detection of these diseases and
The MGP focused on the study of rare diseases. Although these are rare isolated conditions, as a whole they are important because they affect 5-7% of the population in developed countries. Eighty percent of these diseases have a genetic basis.
Genomics and biotechnology, integrated with quality care and management of information systems and samples, offer a great potential for clinical innovation to improve the diagnosis and therapy of patients. MGP provides new concepts and approaches related to the quality of the samples and their associated clinical information. A new philosophy of clinical information and research management that enables continuous updating of the information associated with the samples, as well as content integration and s
