Ultra-Fast Real-Time PCR Platform Could Revolutionize POC Molecular Diagnostics
An ultra-fast POC real-time PCR platform for infectious disease diagnostics that is currently under development will be able to deliver results within five minutes at a cost equivalent to antigen tests currently available in the market. More...08 Nov 2022
Personalizing Whole Genome Sequencing Doubles Diagnosis of Rare Diseases
A new study has found that tailoring the analysis of whole genome sequencing to individual patients could double the diagnostic rates of rare diseases. Receiving a genetic diagnosis is important as it allows patients with rare diseases to receive access to family planning, specialized IVF, and drugs trials. More...08 Nov 2022
New Blood Test to Help Physicians Prevent Major Cardiovascular Events in Women with Lupus
A genetic precision medicine test for lupus patients could save lives by predicting heart disease before it happens and providing decision support for prophylactic therapies. The breakthrough approach characterizes inherited genetic markers in blood samples that drive pathways that can be targeted by drugs. More...08 Nov 2022
Accurate Genetic Assay Identifies Human Neutrophil Antigen 2 Deficiency
Human Neutrophil Antigen 2 (HNA-2) is one of the most important neutrophil antigens implicated in a number of human disorders. HNA-2 deficiency or HNA-2 null is a common phenotype observed in 3%–5% of US citizens. More...08 Nov 2022
New Immunoassay Specifically Measures Heart Attack-linked Blood Troponin Levels
A recently developed immunoassay for measurement of intact troponin molecules in the blood is able to differentiate patients suffering from myocardial infarction (MI) from those with other transient or chronic conditions. More...03 Nov 2022
