Dengue Severity Predicted by Gene Expression Signature
About 400 million individuals annually are infected with any of the four dengue virus (DENV) serotypes and although the majority of symptomatic individuals present with acute dengue fever, a fraction, between ∼5% to 20% of these patients progress to severe dengue infection. More...14 Feb 2019
Accuracy of Self-Sampling for HPV Screening Evaluated
Molecular testing for human papillomavirus (HPV) using patient-collected cervico-vaginal samples has shown similar levels of accuracy to testing done on clinician-collected samples and could boost participation in overall HPV screening. More...13 Feb 2019
Symptomatic Respiratory Pathogen Found in Transplant Recipients
As opportunistic pathogens, microsporidia cause symptomatic infections mainly in patients with impaired immune function; and microsporidial dissemination to the central nervous system, eyes, and respiratory and urinary tracts has been documented in these patients. More...13 Feb 2019

Genetic Causes of Salivary Gland Carcinoma Discovered
Acinic cell carcinoma is the third most common malignant form of salivary gland cancer. These tumors are similar to normal salivary gland tissue and occur most frequently in the parotid gland. Until now, the molecular causes for the illness were unknown. More...13 Feb 2019
Whole-Exome Sequencing Evaluates Fetal Structural Anomalies
In about 3% of pregnancies, ultrasound imaging will reveal a significant fetal physical anomaly and knowing the cause of the anomaly can help doctors and parents be better prepared, both during the pregnancy and after delivery. More...12 Feb 2019
Direct Blood PCR Detects Thromboembolism-Associated Mutations
Routine genetic testing is recommended in several clinical circumstances, particularly in patients with venous thrombosis at younger age, a strong family history of thrombotic disease, or in women with a history of venous thrombosis during pregnancy. More...11 Feb 2019
