Fetal Genetic Variants Implicated in Spontaneous Preterm Birth Risk
Preterm live births that take place before 37 completed weeks of gestation and even as early as 22–24 weeks are a global problem. Up to 11.1% (15 million babies) of all births worldwide occur prematurely, and approximately 45% to 50% of them are idiopathic or spontaneous. More...03 Jul 2019

New Genetic Link to Premenopausal Breast Cancer Discovered
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, with an estimated one out of every eight women expected to develop it in their lifetimes. While environmental factors like smoking, diet or lack of physical activity can lead to cancer, a person's genes also contribute to the risk of getting the disease. More...03 Jul 2019



Researchers Use NIV Methods for Diagnosis of Endometrial Cancer
A team of Catalan cancer researchers has suggested using materials containing biomarkers and cellular debris collected during routine Pap smears and other non-invasive sampling methods as the basis for genomic diagnosis of endometrial cancer. More...01 Jul 2019
