Simple Test Predicts Childhood Cancer Relapse
High-risk neuroblastoma, which occurs mostly in children under five, is treated with surgery and chemotherapy, and neuroblastomas currently rated low risk are just removed or left untreated while doctors 'wait and see', but a fraction of low risk tumors recur and ultimately kill.

Genetic Test Predicts Adverse Reaction To Toxic Goiter Treatment
Agranulocytosis is an acute condition involving a severe and dangerous leukopenia or lowered white blood cell count and drug-induced agranulocytosis is a potentially life-threatening adverse reaction, and adverse drugs reactions are a leading cause of admission to hospital. More...26 May 2016

New Gene Associated With Familial High Cholesterol
The gene that explains one quarter of all familial hypercholesterolemia with very high blood cholesterol has been revealed. Familial hypercholesterolemia is the most common genetic disorder leading to premature death, found in 1 in 200 people. More...26 May 2016
