Molecular Diagnostics
Nanopore Method Developed for Genetic Screening
Rapid sequencing of short DNA reads may be useful for a wide range of clinical applications including targeted mutation analysis, cancer-panel testing, and aneuploidy screening. Fast, point-of-care preimplantation genetic screening could improve the success of in vitro fertilization procedures by not requiring embryos to be frozen. More...12 Apr 2018
Aggressive Meningioma Linked to Transcription Factor Activity
Meningioma, a cancer of the cerebral and spinal meninges, is the most common primary CNS tumor in the USA. Meningioma is the most common primary intracranial tumor, but the molecular drivers of aggressive meningioma are incompletely understood. More...12 Apr 2018
Gut Microbiome Analysis Predicts Hospitalizations in Cirrhosis
Cirrhosis is a leading cause of mortality and healthcare expenditure due to hospitalizations worldwide. Bacterial products such as endotoxin play a key role in the development of a proinflammatory milieu and disease progression in cirrhosis. More...11 Apr 2018
Genomic Test Detects Lynch Syndrome in Colorectal Cancer
Lynch syndrome (LS) affects approximately 3% of all patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), making it the most common hereditary syndrome that predisposes individuals to develop CRC. Universal tumor screening for LS in CRC is recommended and involves up to six sequential tests. More...11 Apr 2018
Potential Genetic Link Identified in SIDS
Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is the unexpected death of a seemingly healthy infant. It is the leading cause of post-neonatal infant death in high-income countries and accounts for 2,400 deaths per year in the USA alone and around 300 in the UK. More...10 Apr 2018
Novel RNA Blood Test Launched for Fibromyalgia
It is estimated that about five million Americans suffer from fibromyalgia, a poorly understood disorder characterized by deep tissue pain, fatigue, headaches, mood swings and insomnia. It often takes years for a patient to be diagnosed with fibromyalgia and some doctors still refuse to recognize it as a disease. More...10 Apr 2018
