Metabolomic Profile Predicts Type II Diabetes Risk for Normal Weight Individuals
Employing a metabolomics approach, a team of Swedish investigator identified a panel of metabolites linked to obesity and found that normal weight individuals with this metabolic profile had increased risk for Type II diabetes and all-cause mortality compared with lean individuals with a healthy metabolome.

Genetic Changes Identified in Patients Who Progress to Esophageal Cancer
Barrett’s esophagus (BE), a predominantly benign metaplasia that arises in the esophagus in response to chronic gastric reflux, also develops somatic mutations, but can further evolve extensive genomic alterations which confer significantly increased risk of progression to esophageal adenocarcinoma (ESAD).
