CSF MicroRNA Levels Investigated for Prodromal HD
Huntington disease (HD) is a progressive brain disorder that causes uncontrolled movements, emotional problems, and loss of thinking ability (cognition). Adult-onset HD is the most common form of this disorder and the mean age of onset of HD is 35 to 44 years and the median survival time is 15 to 18 years after onset. More...17 Jan 2018
Genetic Study Predicts Stomach Cancer Progression
Although stomach cancer is treatable if detected early, diagnosis often occurs at an advanced stage, resulting in high mortality. Intestinal metaplasia (IM) is a pre-malignant condition of the gastric mucosa associated with increased gastric cancer (GC) risk. More...17 Jan 2018

Genetic Factors Responsible for Alzheimer's Disease Identified
Several new genes have been identified that are responsible for Alzheimer's disease (AD) including those leading to functional and structural changes in the brain and elevated levels of AD proteins in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). More...16 Jan 2018

Tumor Suppressor Gene Variants Identified for Leukemia Patients
Newly identified germline variations in a key tumor suppressor gene predispose individuals to develop leukemia as children and leave them with a 1-in-4 chance of developing a second cancer later. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is the most common childhood cancer and in most cases, the exact cause is unknown. More...16 Jan 2018



Mycobacterium Mutations Associated with Clarithromycin Resistance
Mycobacterium abscessus is a leading cause of respiratory diseases and soft tissue infections and it is naturally resistant to many antibiotics in vitro, which complicates clinical treatment and leads to unsatisfactory results. More...09 Jan 2018
