New Genetic Links Identified for Heart Disease Risk Factors
Genetics have been implicated in cardiovascular and blood diseases for some time, however as these are complex diseases, it is extremely difficult to find specific genetic causes, but large scale genomic datasets can be used to help identify potential novel biological targets for studying cardiovascular and other diseases.

Field Test Allows Rapid Diagnosis of Chikungunya Virus Infection
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) infection causes symptoms that are similar to Dengue and Zika as well as other viral diseases, including influenza and accurate diagnosis of CHIKV is important for effective outbreak responses, including patient management and mosquito control. More...12 Oct 2016
Quantitative Molecular Diagnostic Methods Identify Causes of Childhood Diarrhea
The number of cases of childhood diarrhea attributed to pathogens such as bacteria, parasites, viruses or other infections has been substantially underestimated and may be nearly twice as high as previous analysis suggests. More...06 Oct 2016
Genomic Fingerprinting Helps Predict Prostate Tumor Aggressiveness
Next-generation sequencing is revealing genomic heterogeneity in localized prostate cancer (CaP), but incomplete sampling of CaP multiclonality has limited the implications for molecular subtyping, stratification, and systemic treatment. More...06 Oct 2016
Extended Multilocus Sequence Typing Developed for Leptospirosis
Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease caused by pathogenic species of Leptospira that can be carried naturally by most mammalian species and transmission to humans most commonly occurs via direct animal contact or via water contaminated with animal urine. More...05 Oct 2016
Genetic Cause Deciphered for Inherited Nerve Damage Afflicting Older Adults
An international team of researchers has identified a gene, MME, with a causative link to late-onset autosomal dominant axonal polyneuropathies. Patients initially develop loss of sensation and pain, then the illness can advance rapidly and lead to paralysis, inability to walk, and wheelchair dependency. More...05 Oct 2016
