Low-Cost Transcriptional Diagnostic Accurately Categorizes Lymphomas

Lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system, which is part of the body's germ-fighting network. The lymphatic system includes the lymph nodes (lymph glands), spleen, thymus gland and bone marrow. Lymphoma can affect all those areas as well as other organs throughout the body. More...

Familial Hypercholesterolemia Tends to Slip Past Genetic Tests

Familial hypercholesterolemia is a genetic disorder characterized by high cholesterol levels, specifically very high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), in the blood and early cardiovascular disease. The most common mutations diminish the number of functional LDL receptors in the liver. More...

Personalized CtDNA Analysis Detects Minimal Residual Disease

Multiple myeloma (MM), is a type of bone marrow cancer. It is called multiple myeloma as the cancer often affects several areas of the body, such as the spine, skull, pelvis and ribs. Minimal residual disease (MRD) is the name given to small numbers of leukemic cells that remain in the person during treatment, or after treatment when the patient is in remission. More...
