Study Shows Predisposed Cancer Factors in Ashkenazi Jewish Women

Upon finding additional breast cancer mutations in Ashkenazi Jewish breast cancer patients, a new study suggests that this population of women can benefit from genetic testing for all known breast cancer genes. More...

Breast Cancer Diagnosed by Measuring Circulating Tumor DNA

An unintended consequence of a recent drug study was the discovery that measurement of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) could be used to diagnose a type of breast cancer with an unamplified HER2 mutation. More...

Genetic Variation Associated with Influenza Severity Identified

It is estimated that in the USA influenza -related deaths in recent years have ranged from 12,000 to 56,000. Factors like age, obesity, pregnancy and such chronic health conditions as asthma, chronic lung disease and heart disease are associated with an elevated risk of complications and death. More...
