Advanced Sequencing Techniques Determine Cancer Genome Variants in Young Patients
A recent paper described a three-platform sequencing approach, including whole genome (WGS), exome, and RNA sequencing, that was used to examine tumor and germline genomes from prospectively identified children with newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory cancers. More...03 Aug 2021
ALDOA and FH4 Antibodies Associated with Cerebrovascular Disease
Ischemic stroke, including transient ischemic attack (TIA) and cerebral infarction (CI), is the most globally recognized cerebrovascular disorder, and is a serious health problem in the aging society. CI is an episode of neurological dysfunction caused by focal brain infarction, often resulting in fatality and disability. Patients with TIA are at a high risk of CI. More...28 Jul 2021
Highly Sensitive Genetic Test for Glaucoma Developed
In open-angle glaucoma, the angle in the eye where the iris meets the cornea is as wide and open as it should be, but the eye’s drainage canals become clogged over time, causing an increase in internal eye pressure and subsequent damage to the optic nerve. More...28 Jul 2021
Neurofilament Light Chain Levels Increase Accuracy of Neurodegenerative Disease Detection
Increased accuracy in early detection of neurodegenerative diseases was obtained by adding determination of levels of neurofilament light chain (NfL) protein in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to the framework that combines three Alzheimer's disease biomarkers - pathologic amyloid plaques (A), tangles (T), and neurodegeneration (N), collectively called ATN.

Preemies' Blood Type Tied to Risk for Necrotizing Enterocolitis
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and focal intestinal perforation (FIP) are two of the most common emergencies of the gastrointestinal tract in preterm infants with very low birth weight (VLBW). The etiology and pathogenesis of NEC and FIP remain poorly understood. More...21 Jul 2021
