Childhood Epilepsy Diagnoses Shift with Genomic Reinterpretation
Clinical genomic tests that examine the DNA sequence of large numbers of genes are commonly used in the diagnosis and management of epilepsy in pediatric patients. The permanence of genomic test result interpretations is not known. More...22 Nov 2018
Genetic Basis of Childhood-Onset Cardiomyopathies Identified
Personalized medicine is one of the goals of the current medical studies, where the understanding of the genetic cause and disease mechanism in each individual will promote tailored forms of treatment. Investigators make an important step in this direction by deciphering genetic causes in children and their implications for treatment decisions. More...21 Nov 2018
Potential Brain Tumor Liquid Biopsies Developed
Liquid biopsies are fluid samples from patients, for example from the blood or urine, which provide a less invasive way to monitor disease compared to tumor biopsies. A less intrusive test could be hugely beneficial for brain tumors where collecting samples can be difficult and risky for patients. More...20 Nov 2018
Microsatellite Instability Assay Validated for Cancer Studies
Microsatellite instability (MSI) occurs when mismatch repair proteins (MMR) fail to fix a DNA replication error, leading to frame-shift mutations in a person's genetic code and non-functioning proteins. MSI has acted as a strong marker for genetic conditions such as Lynch syndrome that can lead to a variety of cancers. More...20 Nov 2018
Genetic Test Helps Patients Avoid Unnecessary Thyroid Surgery
A genetic test has been developed that can help avoid costly diagnostic surgery that involves removing one or both lobes of the thyroid gland, by reliably distinguishing between benign and cancerous thyroid nodules using a very small sample of cells. More...19 Nov 2018
Herpes Simplex Virus Assay, Sample-to-Answer Instrument Get FDA Clearance
Herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV2) is a widespread herpes virus, usually sexually transmitted and responsible for genital herpes. Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV1) is a common virus life-long established in the peripheral nervous system. More...14 Nov 2018
