Missing DNA Fragments Could Predict Leukemia Relapse
A new risk scoring system has been developed for children with leukemia based on missing DNA fragments or 'microdeletions'. The risk score will allow doctors to better predict the chance of relapse of a subgroup of children currently hidden in a lower risk group. More...11 Dec 2017
Genetic Testing Unravels Unusual Patterns for Fragile-X Syndrome
Fragile-X syndrome is an X-linked disorder with a prevalence of about 1 in 3,600 to 4,000 in males and 1 in 4,000 to 6,000 in females and is the main cause of inherited intellectual disability (ID) and cognitive impairment. More...11 Dec 2017
Dipstick Technology Could Revolutionize Disease Diagnosis
Nucleic acid amplification is a powerful molecular biology tool, although its use outside the modern laboratory environment is limited due to the relatively cumbersome methods required to extract nucleic acids from biological samples. More...07 Dec 2017
Prion Protein Found in Skin of CJD Patients
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is an incurable, and ultimately fatal, transmissible, neurodegenerative disorder in the family of prion diseases. Prion diseases originate when normally harmless prion protein molecules become abnormal and gather in clusters and filaments in the human body and brain. More...07 Dec 2017
Metabolites Altered in Chronic Kidney Disease
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an important public health problem with a high prevalence worldwide, from 10% to14% of the general population, and strongly increased age-standardized death rate, yet, there is a paucity of effective treatment options. More...07 Dec 2017
