DNA Levels in Blood Correlated with Ovarian Cancer Outcomes

The development of blood biomarkers that can be used for early detection of cancer or to measure tumor burden and response to treatment is a major goal of translational cancer studies across all cancer types. More...

Gene Activity Predicts Progression of Autoimmune Disease

A new diagnostic tool has been designed for a rare and deadly autoimmune disease called systemic sclerosis that affects the skin and internal organs and the disease affects about 100,000 people in the USA. More...

New Genetic Cause Discovered for Dystonia

Dystonia is one of the commonest movement disorders and is thought to affect 70,000 people in the UK alone. It can cause a wide range of disabling symptoms, including painful muscle spasms and abnormal postures, and can affect walking and speech. More...

Highest Sensitivity Liquid Biopsy Test Introduced for Lung Cancer

Approximately 20% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients test positive for an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) driver mutation and receive EGFR Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI) therapy, but unfortunately, most will develop a resistance to this type of therapy. More...

Ribosomal Protein Expression Specifies Normal and Malignant Human Cells

Proteins are the building blocks of life, produced by molecular machines called ribosomes. A human ribosome is composed of four ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and 80 ribosomal proteins (RPs), and its structure is believed to be largely invariant. More...

Serum MiR-122 Levels Associated with Histopathological Features of NAFLD

Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) can only be diagnosed by the presence of histopathological components, such as steatosis, lobular inflammation, ballooning, and fibrosis and therefore there is a need for non-invasive surrogate markers of histopathological features. More...

Image: Flowchart of evaluation protocol portraying how a cancer driver gene prediction method of interest can be evaluated. The input to the method is a provided pancan somatic mutation set. The initial output from the method to be evaluated is a list of predicted driver genes with associated P values and q values. A list of significant driver genes is produced by selecting a q value threshold. Additional details can be found in the paper (Photo courtesy of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences).

Bioinformatics Tool for Evaluating the Evaluation of Cancer Genes

Researchers offer a new software tool being developed to help assess computational algorithms used in methods to identify mutant genes that drive cancer. The tool could thereby lead to more precise diagnostics and targeted treatments for patients. More...
