Molecular IVD Assay Identifies Women at High Risk for Cervical Cancer
A new molecular assay that has been demonstrated as a sensitive follow-up test to identify HPV positive women with progressing cervical disease in direct need for colposcopy or other follow-up procedures will help to identify women at high risk for cervical cancer. More...12 Oct 2022


Fragile X Syndrome Mutations Found With Comprehensive Testing Method
Fragile X syndrome (FXS), the most common form of inherited intellectual disability and monogenic cause of autism spectrum disorders, is mainly caused by the expansion of CGG trinucleotide repeats in the 5′ untranslated region of FMR1 gene. More...10 Oct 2022

Genetic Prognosis Explored for Pediatric Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in children is a disease in which, due to abnormalities in the muscle, one or both ventricles in a child’s heart become enlarged and contract poorly. A variety of processes that result in myocardial damage can lead to dilated cardiomyopathy and coronary artery disease. More...10 Oct 2022
