A Breath-Analysis Test for Rapid Diagnosis of COVID-19

Researchers have reported the development of a rapid breath-analysis test that detects COVID-19 by identifying significant changes in the exhaled concentrations of a panel of volatile organic compounds. More...

A Liquid Biopsy for Diagnosis of Pediatric High-Grade Glioma

A liquid biopsy approach that detects cell-free tumor DNA (cf-tDNA) in samples of cerebrospinal fluid has been used to diagnose pediatric high-grade glioma (pHGG), a rare but usually fatal childhood brain cancer. More...

Single-Cell Sequencing Reveals Clonal Diversity Among AML Patients

A growing body of evidence supports the role of clonal diversity in therapeutic resistance, recurrence, and poor outcomes in cancer. Clonal diversity also reflects the history of the accumulation of somatic mutations within a tumor. More...

Artificial Enzyme Increases Sensitivity of Alzheimer's Disease Immunoassay

A novel modification made to the classic ELISA method for detecting the Alzheimer's disease biomarker amyloid beta 1-40 increased the sensitivity of the test by more than a factor of 10. More...

Genetic Alterations Associated with Sporadic Congenital Hydrocephalus

Congenital hydrocephalus (CH), characterized by enlarged brain ventricles, is considered a disease of excessive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) accumulation and thereby treated with neurosurgical CSF diversion with high morbidity and failure rates. More...

Sensitive Detection Method Identifies Protein Clumps in Parkinson’s Disease Skin Samples

A sensitive detection method usually used to identify aggregated prion proteins has been adapted for the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease in skin samples. More...

Image: Mutations in cell free DNA (cfDNA) or cells in the peripheral blood along with anemia or thrombocytopenia are the hallmark of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The diagnosis of MDS is confirmed when mutations in hematopoietic cells are detected at relatively high levels (Photo courtesy of Genomic Testing Cooperative).

Inherited Causes of Clonal Hematopoiesis in Multiplicity of Whole Genomes

The age-related acquisition of somatic mutations that lead to clonal expansion in regenerating hematopoietic stem cell populations has recently been associated with both hematological cancer and coronary heart disease, and this phenomenon is termed clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP).
