Rare Gene Variant Associated with Common Variable Immunodeficiency
Common variable immunodeficiency is characterized clinically by inadequate quantity and quality of serum immunoglobulins with increased susceptibility to infections, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. More...17 Mar 2015


Novel Noninvasive Diagnostic Test Developed for Colorectal Cancer
Researchers have developed a genetic test for colorectal cancer using a novel liquid “biopsy” of circulating tumor cells from whole blood, a rapid, easy-to-use technology developed to improve treatment, monitoring, and overall care of cancer patients. More...15 Mar 2015

Urine Test Predicts Acute Kidney Injury Prognosis
The severity of the acute kidney injury condition can range from minor loss of kidney function to complete kidney failure, and 50% to 60% of people who develop the condition die as a result and this figure has not changed in the last four decades. More...03 Mar 2015
