Dementia Assay Gets Favorable Evaluation

An assay to detect the most common genetic mutation associated with amyotropic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) has been shown to have significant advantages over a laboratory-developed test in an evaluation. More...

Occasional late mitotic figures in erythroid elements are present, but no significant erythroid or myeloid dysplasia exists (Photo courtesy of Dr. Robert P. Hasserjian, MD).

Disease Progression Apprised by Post-Treatment Mutation Sequencing

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation is the only curative treatment for patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The molecular predictors of disease progression after transplantation are unclear. More...

DNA Test Predicts Risk of Leukemia Relapse

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common type of leukemia in adults, comprising about one quarter of all cases. The disease stems from an overproduction of immature blood cells in the bone marrow, which over time outgrow normal blood cells. It's a type of cancer, which starts suddenly and progresses quickly, requiring urgent treatment. More...

MALDI-TOF MS Used to Identify Pythiosis

Pythiosis is a life-threatening infectious disease caused by the oomycete Pythium insidiosum. The disease has been increasingly reported worldwide and most patients with pythiosis undergo surgical removal of an infected organ. More...

Targeted Sequencing Approach for Sarcoma Gene Fusions Validated

Sarcomas are rare cancers that grow in a patient's connective tissue, such as bones, muscles, tendons, nerves, and fat. Symptoms may not be apparent, since the only signs of sarcomas are lumps on a person's skin. More...
