Colorectal Cancer Risk Linked to Common and Rare Variants

Colorectal cancer (CRC), also known as bowel cancer and colon cancer, is the development of cancer from the colon or rectum (parts of the large intestine). Screening, by one of a number of methods, is recommended starting from the age of 50 to 75. More...

Newborn Cytomegalovirus Test Cleared for Marketing

Cytomegalovirus or CMV is a common virus that infects people of all ages. In the USA, nearly one in three children are already infected with CMV by age five and over half of adults by age 40 have been infected with CMV. More...

Unique Genetic Makeup of Myeloma Tumor Cells Profiled

Multiple myeloma is the second-most common type of blood cancer. Multiple myeloma occurs when plasma cells in the bone marrow, the cells that produce antibodies, proliferate out of control and lead to various type of organ failure and death. More...

Liquid Biopsy Identifies Advanced Lung Cancer Drivers

Liquid biopsy for plasma circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) next-generation sequencing (NGS) is commercially available and increasingly adopted in clinical practice despite a paucity of prospective data to support its use. More...

Plasmodium vivax Isolated in Duffy Negative Individuals

Malaria in Nigeria is principally due to Plasmodium falciparum and, to a lesser extent to P. malariae and P. ovale. P. vivax is thought to be absent in Nigeria in particular and sub-Saharan Africa in general, due to the near fixation of the Duffy negative gene in this population. More...

MALDI-TOF MS Identifies Oomycete Causing Pythiosis

Pythiosis is an invasive, difficult-to-treat, life-threatening infectious disease caused by Pythium insidiosum, a member of the unique group of fungus-like microorganisms called oomycetes. The disease has been increasingly reported worldwide. More...
