Center for Autoimmune Genomics and Etiology (CAGE)

Our Services

The Center for Autoimmune Genomics and Etiology can facilitate high-throughput custom SNP and whole-genome genotyping on the Illumina platform using the sophisticated iScan System.

In collaboration with the Division of Human Genetics and using trio analysis (affected child and non-affected parents), the Center for Autoimmune Genomics and Etiology can identify de novo, rare recessive and compound heterozygote variants in the exomes of children with no family history of a particular disease.

Alternatively, we also offer whole genome sequencing analysis and non-human (microbiome, metagenomics) sequencing analysis to identify the microbial communities in human specimens.

The Center for Autoimmune Genomics and Etiology provides genetically defined samples to collaborators from people with and without lupus.
