Molecular Diagnostics

Image: A Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) is a change of a nucleotide at a single base-pair location on DNA. The upper DNA molecule differs from the lower DNA molecule at a single base-pair location (a C/A polymorphism) (Photo courtesy of David Eccles).

Noninvasive Prenatal Testing of Single Gene Diseases Developed

An approach that allows for the noninvasive assessment of both maternally and paternally inherited mutations involves the analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in maternal plasma DNA with reference to parental haplotype information. More...

Gene Panel Differentiates Survival Outcomes in Humans Infected with Ebola

A team of molecular virologists used transcriptome data from individuals infected with Ebola virus and from convalescent patients recovering from the disease to identify early stage host factors that were associated with the acute illness and those that differentiated patients who survived from those that died. More...

LAMP-Kit Diagnoses Non-Falciparum Malaria

Malaria incidence has recently been declining globally, although in many African countries it is still one of the top health problems and the efforts to control and eradicate malaria will still need a strong diagnostic capacity, which allows any parasitaemic patient to be detected and treated sooner. More...

Liquid Biopsy Assists with Tumor Treatment Response Monitoring

Non-invasive “liquid biopsies” such as blood tests are growing in use as they help overcome problems of inherent tumor heterogeneity of cancer cells, while providing previously unavailable insight into drug-resistance. They are essential in tracking and monitoring an otherwise intractable disease. More...

Vaginal Microbes Denote Early Detection of Endometrial Cancer

Endometrial cancer triggers remain elusive, but given the typical inflammatory profile in these cases, microbes in the uterine environment are suspected to play a role in the development of this disease. More...

Mutational Profile of Metastatic Breast Cancers Analyzed

Breast cancer often results in poor outcomes after it has metastasized to distant organs, but, while primary breast tumors have been extensively characterized at the molecular level, metastatic lesions are poorly understood. More...

Molecular Test Improves Diagnosis of Human Babesiosis

Babesia species are tick-borne apicomplexan parasites that infect erythrocytes and several species including B. microti, B. duncani, B. venatorum, B. divergens and B. divergens-like organisms can infect humans. More...
