Molecular Assays Compared For MRD Detection In B-ALL

B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is the most common malignancy in children, and it may be associated with gene alterations that regulate B-cell development. The prognostic significance of minimal residual disease (MRD) in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has been demonstrated. More...

Advanced Sequencing Techniques Determine Cancer Genome Variants in Young Patients

A recent paper described a three-platform sequencing approach, including whole genome (WGS), exome, and RNA sequencing, that was used to examine tumor and germline genomes from prospectively identified children with newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory cancers. More...

ALDOA and FH4 Antibodies Associated with Cerebrovascular Disease

Ischemic stroke, including transient ischemic attack (TIA) and cerebral infarction (CI), is the most globally recognized cerebrovascular disorder, and is a serious health problem in the aging society. CI is an episode of neurological dysfunction caused by focal brain infarction, often resulting in fatality and disability. Patients with TIA are at a high risk of CI. More...

Highly Sensitive Genetic Test for Glaucoma Developed

In open-angle glaucoma, the angle in the eye where the iris meets the cornea is as wide and open as it should be, but the eye’s drainage canals become clogged over time, causing an increase in internal eye pressure and subsequent damage to the optic nerve. More...

Ubiquitin immunohistochemistry in cases of familial FTLD demonstrates staining of (a) neurites and neuronal cytoplasmic inclusions in the superficial cerebral neocortex, (b) neuronal cytoplasmic inclusions in hippocampal dentate granule cells, and (c) neuronal intranuclear inclusions in the cerebral neocortex (arrows) (Photo courtesy of Wikimedia Commons)

Neurofilament Light Chain Levels Increase Accuracy of Neurodegenerative Disease Detection

Increased accuracy in early detection of neurodegenerative diseases was obtained by adding determination of levels of neurofilament light chain (NfL) protein in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to the framework that combines three Alzheimer's disease biomarkers - pathologic amyloid plaques (A), tangles (T), and neurodegeneration (N), collectively called ATN.
