Lupus Genetic Risk Variant Allelic Enhancer Activity Discovered

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) affects about 300,000 people in the USA, the majority of whom are women. Previous studies have implicated both genetic and environmental contributors to the condition. While nearly 100 genetic loci have been associated with lupus, it is also closely tied to previous infection with Epstein-Barr virus. More...

PCR Method Identifies Microsatellite Instability in Tumor-Derived Samples

Sensitive detection of microsatellite instability (MSI) in tissue or liquid biopsies using next generation sequencing (NGS) has growing prognostic and predictive applications in cancer. However, the complexities of NGS make it cumbersome as compared to established multiplex-PCR detection of MSI. More...
