Genes Associated with Age-Related Macular Degeneration Identified
Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a complex disease influenced by yet-to-be-understood mix of genetic and behavioral factors. Smoking increases the risk of developing the disease, while eating leafy greens and fish reduces it. More...26 Feb 2019
Markers in Male Reproductive Impairments Causing Miscarriages
Recurrent pregnancy loss, (RPL) affecting 1% to 2% of couples, is defined as ≥3 consecutive pregnancy losses before 20-week' gestation. Women with RPL are routinely screened for etiological factors, but routine screening of male partners is not currently recommended. More...21 Feb 2019
Non-Invasive Prenatal Sequencing Designed for Multiple Mendelian Monogenic Disorders
Current non-invasive prenatal screening is targeted toward the detection of chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus. However, screening for many dominant monogenic disorders associated with de novo mutations is not available, despite their relatively high incidence. More...14 Feb 2019
