The Galliera Genetic Bank is part of the Laboratory of Human Genetics of Galliera Hospital in Genoa and has collected samples from patients affected by genetic diseases since 1983. Presently, it stores 10,259 biospecimens and associated data from about 200 genetic disorders. The most representative disorders are chromosome disorders (Down s., Ring chromosome 14 s., Cri du chat s. and Isodicentric 15 chromosome), neurological diseases (Fragile X s., Mowat Wilson s. and Dravet s.), rare bone diseases (Crouzon s., Achondroplasia, Grieg s. and Thanathophoric dwarfism), overgrowth syndromes (Sotos s.), familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and other rare disease such as IPEX and Aarskog s. The biobank has been supported by Italian Telethon grants since 1993 and since 2008 is partner of the Telethon Network of Genetic Biobanks. It operates according to Italian and international regulations. Since 2008 the biobank is certified ISO 9001, and in 2010 it was officially authorized by the Liguria Region to operate as a facility in support of diagnosis and research on genetic diseases. Since its inception, the biobank has offered the following services to the biomedical community: (i) access to sample and data collection; (ii) sample processing (e.g., cell lines establishment, DNA/RNA extraction, etc); (iii) preservation of biological specimens and related data (repository service), garnering more than 110 acknowledgements in scientific articles.
加列拉基因库是热那亚加列拉医院人类遗传学实验室的一部分,自1983年以来一直收集遗传疾病患者的样本。目前,它存储了10259个生物标本和大约200种遗传疾病的相关数据。最具代表性的疾病是染色体疾病(唐氏综合症、环14号染色体、Cri du chat综合症和等心15号染色体)、神经系统疾病(脆性X染色体、Mowat Wilson综合症和Dravet综合症)、罕见骨病(Crouzon综合症、软骨发育不全症、Grieg综合症和Thanathophoric侏儒症)、过度生长综合征(Sotos综合症)、家族性肥厚性心肌病和其他罕见疾病,如IPEX和Aarskog。该生物库自1993年以来一直得到意大利Telethon的资助,并自2008年以来成为Telethon遗传生物库网络的合作伙伴。它按照意大利和国际法规运营。自2008年以来,生物库通过了ISO 9001认证,并于2010年正式获得利古里亚地区的授权,作为支持遗传病诊断和研究的设施运营。自成立以来,生物银行向生物医学界提供了以下服务:(i)获取样本和收集数据;(ii)样品处理(如细胞系建立、DNA/RNA提取等);(iii)保存生物标本和相关数据(知识库服务),在科学论文中获得110多篇致谢。

The CONCERT Biobank was established as an open-access, multiple collection site biorepository designed to collect, process, store, retrieve and disseminate biological samples and health information for research projects following informed consent from participants diagnosed with cancer. Informed consent is obtained prior to surgery by either the nursing, medical or biobank staff. Tissues for biobanking are examined within the diagnostic anatomical pathology department of the participating hospital by qualified pathologists and tissues deemed in excess of diagnostic requirements are stored securely and anonymously by the biobank in anticipation of current and future research needs for broad and as yet unspecified cancer research nationally.

The Genomic and Genetic Disorders Biobank (GGDB, formerly Genomic Disorders Biobank) was established in 2006 as an internal bioresource supported by own database, to collect and store biospecimens from genomic-disorder (e.g. microdeletion and duplication syndromes) affected individuals. Since 2009 the Bioresource has joined the Telethon Network of Genetic Biobanks and has expanded the collection to include also genetic mendelian diseases. The GGDB gathers wholly annotated clinical and longitudinal data and biological samples from affected and healthy donors, according to standard ethical principles. Biospecimens are available to the international scientific community for research projects in the field of the pathologies collected and stored in GGDB.

The GAZEL Cohort Study set up in 1989 is a general-purpose epidemiologic cohort. At inception in 1989, the cohort included 20,625 volunteers then aged from 35-50 (women; n= 5,614) or 40-50 (men; n= 15,011). The data collected routinely come from different sources, mainly annual self-administered questionnaires, socioeconomic and health administrative data, health examinations, and causes of death. The epidemiologic database is maintained and stored by our group in our own facilities; the biobank is stored in the “Centre de ressources biologiques”, in Dijon, France. Today, more than 50 epidemiological projects on diversified themes have been set up in the GAZEL Cohort Study by some 30 French and foreign teams.

The Bioresource, presently storing 10,279 biospecimens, was initially established in 1976 as a private laboratory-collection to maintain rare mutant cell lines from genetic-metabolic diseases. Shortly afterwards, however, data from the sample collection was organised in a database and the sample collection was released to the scientific community. The Biobank has received Telethon grants since 1993, as individual facility, and from 2008 as part of the Telethon Network of Genetic Biobanks ( www.biobanknetwork.org ). In 2010, the Biobank has obtained official recognition from Regione Liguria. The Biobank has always provided essential services by establishing, analysing, maintaining, and distributing biospecimens from patients affected by rare genetic diseases. Up to now, the contribution of the Biobank to the scientific community has been expressed in acknowledgement notes in 145 scientific manuscripts.
