Factors Affecting Plasma DNA Analysis Evaluated

There is vast potential in precision-medicine methods of both detecting and monitoring disease by looking for indications of cancer mutations in cell-free DNA (cfDNA), circulating in the blood. However, there are many factors that can significantly alter these samples as they are collected and analyzed. More...

Near-Patient Hepatitis C Assay Validated

Chronic infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major public health problem, estimated to infect 1.0% of the world’s population (71 million people) and to be responsible for 400, 000 annual deaths as a result of cirrhosis and liver cancer. More...

Molecular Subtype Identified for CRCs Metastasized to Liver

Metastases are the leading cause of cancer-related deaths and frequently are widely disseminated, which has led to the prevailing view that metastases are always widespread. More...

Familial Genetics Influence Migraine Type

Familial aggregation in chronic diseases is well known but its background is not well understood. Migraine is an example of a common disease that can aggregate in families. It is one of the most common brain disorders worldwide, affecting approximately 15% to 20% of the adult population in developed countries. More...

Kidney Disease Patient Urine Contains Diverse Bacteria

Bacterial communities in the bladders of men and women without clinical urinary tract infections (UTI) have been discovered and emerging studies suggests that the urinary microbiome may influence bladder health. More...

Genetic Scores Stratify Risk of Developing Type 1 Diabetes

Approximately 0.3% of newborns will develop autoimmunity to pancreatic beta cells in childhood and subsequently develop type 1 diabetes before adulthood. Primary prevention of type 1 diabetes will require early intervention in genetically at-risk infants. More...

Assays Using ddPCR Quantify DNA Fragments

Optimized droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) assays have been developed that quantify short and long DNA fragments. These assays have been used to analyze plasma cell-free (cfDNA) fragment size distribution in human blood. More...
