Image: Translocation: a fragment of a chromosome is moved (trans-located) from one chromosome to another and joins a non-homologous chromosome. The balance of genes is still normal (nothing has been gained or lost), but can alter phenotype as it places genes in a new environment (Photo courtesy of Indiana University).

Chromosomal Abnormalities Associated with Recurrent Miscarriage

Recurrent miscarriage, or the loss of two or more pregnancies, affects between 1% and 2% of couples. Chromosomal abnormalities are the major genetic cause of miscarriage and are detected by routine analysis in about 1 in 50 couples. More...

Use of Cell-free DNA Liquid Biopsy to Predict Glioblastoma Progression

Cancer researchers have demonstrated the potential clinical utility of liquid biopsy to measure plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma in order to predict the progression of the disease. More...
