Genomic Screening Can Identify Risk for Amyloid Cardiomyopathy

Transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) a is a rare, progressive disease characterized by the abnormal buildup of amyloid deposits composed of misfolded transthyretin protein in the body’s organs and tissues. ATTR can be hereditary and lead to a spectrum of other diseases and conditions, including cardiomyopathy, a common precursor to heart failure. More...

Targeted RNA-Sequencing Panel Detects Gene Fusions in Solid Tumors

Increasingly, rearrangements resulting in gene fusions have been revealed in multiple tumor types across diverse organ systems. These gene fusions can drive tumorigenesis by altering gene expression and activity. Timely and reliable detection of fusions provides useful information to the pathologist and clinical team. More...
