Gene Abnormality Found to Underlie Rare Neurological Disease
Researchers have discovered that malfunctioning variants of a gene encoding a mitochondrial protein results in a group of related neurological syndromes classified as conditions of unknown origin. The study sheds new light on causes of such diseases and opens a door for developing better diagnostic tools and treatments. More...03 Nov 2016
Non-Invasive Assay Improves Surveillance of Solid-Organ Transplants
Patients who have received a solid organ transplant require lifelong immunosuppressive therapy. The threat of transplant rejection due to insufficient drug therapy must be balanced against increased risks of infections and cancer from excessive immunosuppression. More...28 Oct 2016
DNA-Based Analysis Detects Group A Streptococcus
As an exclusively human pathogen, Group A Streptococcus (GAS; Streptococcus pyogenes) is spread in the community through direct human-to-human transmission and GAS can also colonize a healthy host without any apparent clinical signs or symptoms. More...27 Oct 2016
Gene Activity Mapping Points to Two Subtypes of Crohn's Disease
Gene activity studies have found that there are two clinically relevant forms of Crohn's disease that are defined by molecular signatures that are not linked to tissue sampling location, patient age, or treatment status. More...26 Oct 2016
