Elevated Levels of Two Protein Biomarkers Indicate Potential for Development of Pre-Eclampsia

A pair of novel protein biomarkers has been identified in the blood of asymptomatic pregnant women that can be used to predict the potential onset of pre-eclampsia. More...

Clonal Hematopoiesis of Indeterminate Potential Associated with hsC-Reactive Protein

Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) occurring in normally aging subjects, initially suggested by X-chromosome inactivation studies, is caused by acquired mutations in genes recurrently mutated in hematological cancers, and in non-driver candidates. More...

Combined DNA/RNA Liquid Biopsy Test Identifies Genetic Aberrations in Metastatic Prostate Cancer

Analysis of cell-free DNA and RNA in liquid biopsy samples revealed aberrations in the gene coding for the androgen receptor (AR), which were related to effectiveness of drug treatment and survival time in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). More...

Gene Genomic Prostate Score Test Evaluated as Prognosis Predictor

Molecular assays, including multi-gene expression assays, are increasingly used clinically to improve risk stratification for men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer (PCa). More...

Early-Onset Preeclampsia Risk Reflected in Circulating Maternal Transcripts

Preeclampsia is a poorly understood pregnancy-associated disorder. Often marked by hypertension, preeclampsia can lead to severe complications including internal bleeding, seizures, stroke, premature birth, and death. More...

Rapid Genomic Profiling of Colon Cancers Improves Therapy Selection

Colorectal cancer is a malignant tumor arising from the inner wall of the large intestine (colon) or rectum. Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer in both men and women in the USA. Most colorectal cancers develop from polyps. Removal of colon polyps can aid in the prevention of colorectal cancer. More...

Gut Microbiome Metabolomic Profiles Are Diagnostic for Liver Diseases

Liver disease researchers have developed a noninvasive method to diagnose nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and predict progression to cirrhosis by analyzing metabolomic profiles produced by the microorganisms living in the gut (the microbiome). More...
