Study Confirms Value of the MyProstateScore Urine Test for Prostate Cancer Screening
A recent paper confirmed that the MyProstateScore test could be used with confidence to detect clinically significant (grade group higher than 2) prostate cancers when compared to commonly used prostate specific antigen-based diagnostic screening. More...22 Feb 2021

Next Generation Sequencing Finds More Gene Mutations for Leukemia
Myeloid malignancies are characterized by uncontrolled proliferation and/or defects in differentiation of abnormal myeloid progenitor cells. Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are often thought to be precursors to a higher grade myeloid malignancies, namely acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

Exome Sequencing Identified Pathogenic Variants in Cerebral Palsy Patients
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of permanent movement disorders that appear in early childhood. Signs and symptoms vary among people and over time. Often, symptoms include poor coordination, stiff muscles, weak muscles, and tremors. More...18 Feb 2021


TFP Inhibitor Levels Elevated in Bleeding Tendency Patients
Mild to moderate bleeding disorders (MBDs) are characterized by symptoms such as epistaxis, easy bruising, or menorrhagia, but bleeding can also be severe under certain circumstances such as hemorrhage after surgery or birth. More...11 Feb 2021

Prolonged Maternal Zika Viremia Evaluated for Adverse Perinatal Outcomes
The recent worldwide epidemic confirmed maternal–fetal transmission of Zika virus (ZIKV) and its association with adverse perinatal outcomes, particularly severe central nervous system lesions and fetal losses. More...10 Feb 2021
