Gene Predicts Outcomes for Head and Neck Patients
A human cancer-causing gene, called the DEK oncogene, can be detected in the plasma of head and neck cancer patients and this may help doctors understand how a person's immune system could be used to treat cancer or predict outcomes for patients. More...08 Mar 2016


Biomarkers Help Diagnose Mild Cognitive Impairment in Diabetics
Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of senile dementia, and the prevalence is increasing with population aging and even when the clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease is made, it is generally too late to be curable. More...02 Mar 2016



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
