Genetic Study Identifies Developmental Disorders in Children

The largest ever genetic study of children with previously undiagnosed rare developmental disorders has discovered 14 new developmental disorders. The study also provided diagnoses of rare conditions for over a thousand children and their families. More...

Real-Time PCR Assay Developed for Detection of Candida

Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a common condition characterized by vulvovaginal inflammation in combination with detection of one or more of several Candida species and after bacterial vaginosis, VVC is the second most common cause of vulvovaginitis. More...

DNA Signature Linked to Prostate Cancer Severity

From extensive genomic analyses of localized, non-indolent prostate cancer (PrCa), researchers have succeeded to identify differences in mutational profiles between localized intermediate risk and metastatic, castrate-resistant PrCa. More...

Digital CTC Assay Improves Liver Cancer Diagnosis

Liver cancer, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is the second highest cause of cancer death in the world. HCC is particularly prevalent in developing countries, where its incidence is driven by infection with the hepatitis B virus, which now affects more than 248 million individuals. More...

Image: A Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) is a change of a nucleotide at a single base-pair location on DNA. The upper DNA molecule differs from the lower DNA molecule at a single base-pair location (a C/A polymorphism) (Photo courtesy of David Eccles).

Noninvasive Prenatal Testing of Single Gene Diseases Developed

An approach that allows for the noninvasive assessment of both maternally and paternally inherited mutations involves the analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in maternal plasma DNA with reference to parental haplotype information. More...
