Biomarker Detects Fatal Breast Cancer One Year Earlier

DNA methylation is the addition of a methyl group to DNA, which often affects gene expression. Aberrant DNA methylation is common in human tumors and methylation changes occur very early in breast cancer development. More...

Molecular Automation Is Changing Clinical Laboratories

Most mid-career laboratory medicine professionals find it hard not to recall the days when DNA had to be extracted manually and polyacrylamide gels were mixed by hand without also reflecting on how fast things have changed. More...

RNA Analysis of Nasal Swabs Diagnoses Respiratory Virus Infection

A panel of three mRNAs has been shown to be able to predict presence of respiratory virus infection in nasal samples with an accuracy of 97%. More...

Early Disease Detection Made Easier with Aptamer-Related Blood Test

A novel, highly sensitive blood test for a wide range of serum proteins combines aptamer-DNA capture molecules with nanopore-based single molecule sensing. More...

Genomic Test Predicts Survival Rates after Cardiac Surgery

Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices, such as ventricular assist devices and temporary total artificial hearts, can be surgically implanted in people with advanced heart failure to help the heart's pumping function. More...

Image: On the left side of the diagram, the ABL gene from Chromosome 9 and the BCR gene from Chromosome 22 are combined together to make the ‘Philadelphia chromosome’. This chromosome has a small part at the top and a longer part of the bottom. The bottom part is labelled as a fusion gene, which is BCR and ABL combined (Photo courtesy of Macmillan Cancer Support).

Digital PCR Test Monitors CML Therapy Response

Chronic myeloid leukemia, or CML, is characterized by the "Philadelphia chromosome," a translocation of chromosomes 9 and 22 that results in the breakpoint cluster region protein- Abelson murine leukemia viral oncogene homolog 1(BCR-ABL) gene fusion. More...

Genetic Test Recommended for Inherited Prostate Cancer

To date, there have been few recommendations to guide physicians about when to offer men genetic consultation for prostate cancer risk. A subset of prostate cancers, about 10%-15% of all prostate cancer are inherited and that at least some of the genes that confer the inherited risk are known and testable. More...
