Tool Predicts Deadly Form of Mycosis Fungoides
Mycosis fungoides (MF), the most common cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) is a malignancy of skin-tropic memory T cells. Most MF cases present as early stage (stage I A/B, limited to the skin), and these patients typically have a chronic, indolent clinical course. More...21 May 2018
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...21 May 2018
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...17 May 2018
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...16 May 2018
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...15 May 2018
