Centogene N.V Announces Data from the Rostock International Parkinson's Disease (ROPAD) Centogene N.V announced data from the Company’s Rostock International Parkinson's Disease (ROPAD), further supporting the association of a RAB32 gene mutation with Parkinson's disease (PD). The study, published in The Lancet Neurology, builds on research from Emil K. Gustavsson and colleagues, who previously identified the RAB32 c.213C>G (p.Ser71Arg; dbSNP rs200251693) variant as a novel monogenic cause of PD. In the ROPAD Study, Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) data from 3,354 PD patients revealed that nine patients from Germany, Italy, Spain, and Türkiye carried the RAB32 c.213C>G mutation. This proportion of variant-positives — 0.3% of the cohort — is significantly higher than the 0.002% found in general population databases such as the Genome Aggregation Database. Key Findings: Nine ROPAD participants (0.3% of the cohort) were heterozygous for the RAB32 c.213C>G mutation, supporting the mutation's causal role in Parkinson’s disease Age at onset in mutation-positives and mutation-negatives did not differ, while gender proportions and certain clinical characteristics did. The RAB32 Ser71Arg-associated haplotype was as in the Gustavsson et al. study, supportive of a single founder mutational event These findings underscore the importance of RAB32 as an important cause of Parkinson's disease.

Centogene Publication in Brain Journal Reveals 15% of Parkinson’s Disease Cases Are Linked to Genetic Factors Centogene N.V. announced data from the Company’s Rostock International Parkinson's Disease (ROPAD) Study revealing the genetic factors and prevalence of Parkinson’s disease (PD). The findings from this landmark study indicate that approximately 15% of PD-related cases are tied to genetic variants, with the majority being linked to LRRK2 and GBA1. The research investigated variants in 50 genes with either an established relevance for PD or possible phenotypic overlap from over 12,500 patients from 16 countries who have been enrolled in CENTOGENE’s ROPAD Study. In more than 1,800 participants, a PD-relevant genetic test (PDGT) provided a positive result. This included variants linked to the LRRK2 and GBA1 genes, as well as PRKN, SNCA, and PINK1, or a combination of genetic findings in multiple genes. In the emerging era of gene-targeted PD clinical trials, the Company’s findings that approximately 15% of patients harbor potentially actionable genetic variants offers an important prospect to affected individuals and their families and underlines the need for genetic testing in PD patients. By capturing such genetic data, this also allows for differential genetic counselling across the spectrum of different ages at onset and family histories. The Company recently launched a ROPAD Consortium to continue driving PD research and treatment through collaborative efforts. The ROPAD Consortium will build on the vast network of neurologists, existing partnerships with non-profit organizations, and the largest genetic testing program for PD patients worldwide to streamline access to critical data, drive impactful research, and improve the potential for advancing treatment options. The Rostock International Parkinson's Disease (ROPAD) Study is a global epidemiological study focusing on the role of genetics in Parkinson’s disease (PD). The major goal of the study is to characterize the genetics of PD to establish a better understanding of the disease etiology, diagnosis, and severity. CENTOGENE utilizes CentoCard®, the Company’s proprietary, CE-marked Dried Blood Spot (DBS) collection kit in combination with state-of-the-art sequencing technologies to screen for mutations in LRRK2 and other PD-associated genes. To date, over 18,000 participants from around the world have been tested over a five-year period. Tillkännagivande • May 17

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 6.3% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-€29m free cash flow).

Centogene Biodatabank Reveals Unique Genetic Variants in World's Largest Niemann-Pick Type C1 Disease Cohort Centogene N.V. announced the publication of a landmark study titled, "At a glance: the largest Niemann-Pick type C1 cohort with 602 patients diagnosed over 15 years." Recently published in the European Journal of Human Genetics, one of the world's leading medical genetic journals, the study represents the largest and most heterogeneous Niemann-Pick typeC1 disease (NPC1) cohort, with 602 patients referred from 47 countries. NPC1 is a rare and severe autosomal recessive disorder, characterized by a range of neurovisceral clinical manifestations and a fatal outcome with no effective treatment to date. To gain a deeper understanding of the disease, researchers carried out an analysis using the CENTOGENE Biodatabank, which included clinical, genetic, and biomarker data from NPC1 patients from the past 15 years. The study's findings reveal groundbreaking insights into the clinical and metabolic patterns of NPC1 disease. The analysis of the data captured in the CENTOGENE Biodatabank revealed 287 unique Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic (P/LP) variants, with 73 having not been described previously. Additionally, researchers identified variant-linked patterns of symptoms and manifestations by leveraging Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) terms. Furthermore, these results suggest that in addition to its utility to classify and report variants, the biomarker N-palmitoyl-O-phosphocholineserine ((PPCS), formerly known as lyso-SM-509), might serve to indicate disease severity/progression. In analyzing the data, CENTOGENE was able to establish novel genotype-phenotype relationships and illustrate the value of combined genetic and biomarker testing to diagnose and increase the understanding of NPC1.

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 3.0% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-€29m free cash flow). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (41% average weekly change). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 2 years (€37m net loss in 2 years).
