ABO Histo-Blood Groups Influence Makeup of Gut Microbiome
Recent genome-wide association studies yielded inconsistent, underpowered and rarely replicated results such that the role of human host genetics as a contributing factor to microbiome assembly and structure remains uncertain. More...01 Feb 2021

Specific RUNX1 Mutations Cause Different Disease Types
Mutations of the hematopoietic master regulator RUNX1 are associated with acute myeloid leukemia, familial platelet disorder and other hematological malignancies whose phenotypes and prognoses depend upon the class of the RUNX1 mutation. More...28 Jan 2021


Mismatch Repair/Microsatellite Instability Evaluated Using Cytology Effusion Specimens
DNA mismatch repair (MMR) status is routinely assessed in colorectal and endometrial carcinoma as a method of cancer prevention, surveillance in patients with Lynch syndrome and their families, and for prognostic, predictive, and therapeutic implications. More...25 Jan 2021
