Sequencing Finds Germline Risk Variants in Pediatric Cancer Cases
Somatic panel sequencing is increasingly used in pediatric oncology to aid in cancer diagnosis, risk classification, identification of targetable biomarkers, and treatment planning. As tumor tissues contain both somatic and germline variants, tumor profiling can uncover potential germline changes incidentally. More...25 Apr 2019
Multiplex Assay Detects Pathogens in NF Patients
Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a life-threatening deep soft tissue infection characterized by rapidly progressive necrosis of the fascia and the adjacent soft tissues. NF of the extremities is associated with high mortality rates, and immediate surgical intervention is required upon detection of NF infections. More...23 Apr 2019

DNA Sequencing Reduces Huntington's Disease Diagnosis
Huntington's disease is an inherited neuro-degenerative disorder, which stops parts of the brain working properly, with symptoms worsening over time, and is usually fatal within 20 years. Currently individuals with symptoms of Huntington's disease have a blood test and can wait up to four weeks for the result. More...23 Apr 2019
Suite of Risk Variants Revealed in Hirschsprung's Disease
Hirschsprung’s disease, or congenital aganglionosis, is a developmental disorder of the enteric nervous system and is the most common cause of intestinal obstruction in neonates and infants, often appearing in combination with other symptoms in a manner that may reflect specific syndromes. More...23 Apr 2019
Analysis of Melanoma Exosomes Identifies Potential Relapse Risk
A team of Spanish cancer researchers demonstrated that it was possible to detect the BRAFV600E mutation in exudative seroma-derived extracellular vesicles of patients following melanoma surgery, and its detection correlated with the likelihood that the patients would relapse. More...22 Apr 2019
CRC Gut Microbial Signatures Lead to Diagnostic Tests
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). A cancer is the abnormal growth of cells that have the ability to invade or spread to other parts of the body. More...18 Apr 2019
