Genetic Loci Significantly Associated with Anorexia Nervosa
Data accumulated by a large-scale genome-wide association study suggested that anorexia nervosa should be redefined as a “metabo-psychiatric disorder”, since at least eight genetic loci were identified as being significantly associated with the syndrome. More...22 Jul 2019
Bacteriophage-Based Blood Test Rapidly Detects TB Bacteria
A blood test based on bacteriophage that infect living Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) bacteria has been shown to diagnose human tuberculosis (TB) and may be able to predict which patients with latent tuberculosis will progress to the active form of the disease. More...15 Jul 2019
Prostate Cancer Risk Test Based on Urine-Derived EV-RNA
A team of British researchers developed a prostate cancer risk classifier using urine-derived extracellular vesicle (EV)-RNA capable of providing diagnostic information on disease status prior to biopsy, and prognostic information for men on active surveillance. More...08 Jul 2019
Study Explains Link between Genetic Variation and Vaccine Specificity and Persistence
To better explain how genetic variation affects antibody production and specificity following immunization, researchers conducted a GWAS (genome-wide association study) to examine the persistence of immunity following administration of three childhood vaccines. More...24 Jun 2019
