Genetic Testing for Hypercholesterolemia Improves Diagnosis
Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) is caused by a genetic defect that hinders the body's ability to remove low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol from the blood. High LDL levels in the blood are more likely to result in narrowing of the arteries, which puts patients at substantially higher lifetime risk for heart disease and stroke at an early age.

Epigenetic Diagnostic Tool Detects Diseases in Newborns
Newborns are routinely screened for inheritable diseases by analyzing dried blood spots (DBS) from blood taken from a heel-prick. Among the more than 300 known primary immune deficiencies (PIDs), only Severe Combined Immunodeficiencies (SCID) are detected at birth with the current technology used to analyze the DBS.

Urine Test Accurately Detects Bladder Cancer Recurrence
Urinary tests have been studied for the detection of bladder tumors; however, most of these tests have not been implemented in clinical practice because of cost issues, practical aspects, or insufficient sensitivity or specificity as compared to the gold standard. More...10 Aug 2018
FDA Clears Diagnostic Assay for Group B Strep
Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a Gram-positive bacterium found in 10% to 35% of healthy adults and is a commonly found bacterium within the human body. A person who carries GBS and does not present symptoms of GBS disease is said to be “colonized” with GBS. More...10 Aug 2018
Infections Defined in Urothelial Bladder Tumors
Bladder cancer is estimated to be the 9th most common cancer worldwide and over 90% of bladder tumors are classed as urothelial bladder carcinomas (UBCs), with 75% to 80% presenting at non-muscle-invasive (NMIBC) stages and the remainder presenting at muscle-invasive (MIBC) and metastatic stages.
