Blood Test Detects All Known Inherited Heart Conditions Genes
A rapid, simple blood test has been developed that accurately can detect all known genes associated with inherited heart conditions which are characterized by marked genetic and allelic heterogeneity and require extensive sequencing for genetic characterization. More...28 Feb 2016

Tumor Biopsies with Blood Monitoring Show Lesion-Specific Response
Metastatic tumors driven by drug-targetable genetic mutations become resistant to a targeted therapy drug and the usual practice is to biopsy a single metastatic lesion to test for new mutations that can guide the selection of next-line therapies. More...24 Feb 2016
