Targeted Next-Generation Sequencing Validated for Lysosomal Storage Disorders Diagnosis

Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are a group of more than 50 inherited rare disorders characterized by the accumulation of specific undegraded metabolites in the lysosomes. This overstorage is commonly caused by a deficient or absent activity of one of the many lysosomal hydrolases or, in a few cases, by the deficit of other non-enzymatic lysosomal proteins. More...

Phosphorylated Tau Protein Blood Test Distinguishes Alzheimer’s Disease from Other Neurological Disorders

A recently developed blood test has confirmed the hypothesis that elevated levels of circulating phosphorylated tau 181 (pTau181) protein correlate with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and distinguish it from other neurological disorders that may be misdiagnosed as AD. More...

Scabies Detected by Molecular Methods in Skin Scrapings

Scabies caused by Sarcoptes scabiei mites, is a highly contagious parasitic disease characterized by intense itching which is aggravated at night. Infections by scabies mites result in various skin eruptions consisting of papules, nodules, vesicles, and excoriated eczematous lesions due to scratching. More...

Genetic Alterations Analyzed in Pediatric Low-Grade Glioma

Low grade gliomas are brain tumors that come from two different types of brain cells known as astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. They are classified as a grade 2 tumor making them the slowest growing type of glioma in adults. More...
