A European Reference Network (ERN) is a network connecting health care providers and centres of expertise of highly specialised healthcare, for the purpose of improving access to diagnosis, treatment and the provision of high-quality healthcare for patients with Rare Diseases no matter where they are in Europe. Patient representatives are involved in the governance of ERNs.

Genturis patients are at very high hereditary risk of developing common cancers, which are often located in multiple organ systems. In case they are diagnosed with cancer they need different treatment and follow-up as compared to non-hereditary cancers.
For information on how to participate in genturis research, see: https://genturis-registry.eu/.
Information for health professionals and patients considering a genetic test to look for an inherited cause of cancer is available at https://www.cancergenetics.eu.
ERNs are not directly accessible to individual patients but if you are a patient or family member struggling with a rare genturis syndrome, we encourage you to speak to your local healthcare provider about us. Your doctor remains your single point of contact if you are referred to an ERN centre.
Each country has specific rules and arrangements for the referral of patient cases to other specialists.

OUR MISSION
The main aim of ERN GENTURIS is to improve access to diagnosis, treatment and the provision of high-quality healthcare for patients with rare genetic tumour risk syndromes no matter where they are in Europe.
OUR VISION
To enable patients with genturis syndromes to receive appropriate diagnosis and treatment and for the healthcare professionals to enhance knowledge generation, get appropriate training and contribute in the research activities that are currently ongoing or will be available in the future.
ERN GENTURIS is one of the 24 European Reference Networks (ERNs) approved by the ERN Board of Member States. The ERNs are funded by the European Commission.
