Inherited Genetic Variant Increases Risk of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
An inherited genetic variant, associated with an increased risk of developing the most common type of leukemia, helps cancer cells survive has been identified and these findings could lead to new ways to target the disease. More...01 Sep 2016
Genetic Analysis of Lesions Provides Accurate Esophageal Cancer Test
Barrett's Esophagus is a common condition that affects an estimated 1.5 million people in the UK alone, although many are undiagnosed. This condition involves normal cells in the esophagus being replaced by an unusual cell type called Barrett's Esophagus, and is thought to be a consequence of chronic reflux or heartburn. More...31 Aug 2016
Molecular Testing Accuracy for Clostridium difficile Scrutinized
Accurate diagnosis of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is paramount for patient management and the wrong diagnosis places patients at risk, delays treatment, and/ or contributes to transmission of infection in the healthcare setting. More...31 Aug 2016
Study Leads to Improved Diagnosis of Inherited Heart Muscle Disease
In a groundbreaking study of Mendelian gene pathogenicity, using comparative population genetics, researchers have developed more accurate diagnostics for inherited cardiomyopathy. The approach improves interpretation of the medical significance of gene mutations in patients being tested for a genetic condition. More...29 Aug 2016
Early Detection Identified for Leukemia Patients' Resistance to Therapy
A world-first breakthrough in the early detection of patients' resistance to a common treatment for chronic myeloid leukemia has been made. The discovery offers some hope that the patients' treatment could be changed sooner to improve their chances of survival. More...25 Aug 2016
Cell-Free DNA Sequencing Confirms Myelodysplastic Syndrome Diagnosis
The use of next-generation sequencing (NGS) methods to analyze cell-free DNA (cf-DNA) in the blood of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) yields more accurate results than the current standard approach of Sanger sequencing. More...25 Aug 2016
