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. More...

Topical Nanotechnology Simplifies Skin Disease Diagnosis

Tissue biopsies are necessary for the accurate diagnosis of skin diseases, but their application is limited by the pain, inconvenience, and morbidity experienced by patients, as well as risks of scarring and infection. More...

Sequencing Enables Precise Match for Blood Transfusions

There are more than 300 known red blood cell (RBC) antigens and 33 platelet antigens that differ between individuals. Sensitization to antigens is a serious complication that can occur in prenatal medicine and after blood transfusion, particularly for patients who require multiple transfusions. More...
