Assay Detects CP Risk in Premature Babies

MicroRNA sequencing has been used for early diagnosis of premature babies with abnormal muscle tone and/or intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) - symptoms that are considered to be indicators for risk of cerebral palsy. More...

Leprosy Neural Impairment Diagnosis Evaluated by Tests

Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae, an obligate intracellular parasite with a predilection for infecting peripheral nerves and skin. Leprosy is a current and challenging disease, because it still represents a problem for public health in developing countries. More...

Link Found Between Alcohol, Genes and Heart Failure

Alcoholic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is caused by chronic and excessive alcohol intake. Although moderate levels of alcohol consumption may have some beneficial cardiovascular effects, prolonged and excessive consumption can lead to deleterious consequences including cardiac arrhythmias and a dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) phenotype.

Chromosome Study Leads to Counseling Pregnant Women

Fetuses with a so-called new balanced chromosomal aberration have a higher risk of developing brain disorders such as autism and mental retardation than previously anticipated and the risk is 20% for fetuses with these types of aberrations. More...

Mutations Missed in Congenital Disease Screening

A type of genetic aberration has been identified as the cause of certain neurodevelopmental disorders and congenital diseases, such as autism and congenital heart disease, which are undetectable by conventional genetic testing. More...

Vitamin D Levels Associated with Type 2 Diabetes

The incidence of type 2 diabetes has increased substantially in both high-income and low- and middle-income countries in recent decades. Observational studies have reported that higher plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) concentrations are associated with lower risks of diabetes, but it is unclear if these associations are causal.
