Discovered Inherited Syndrome Predisposes Body to Cancer
The syndrome was found and characterized by studying patients with biallelic mutations (mutations in both inherited gene copies) in the FANCM gene. These mutations predisposed the body to development of tumors and to hypersensitivity to and rejection of chemotherapy treatments. Contrary to what has been thought, the study suggests that mutations in the FANCM gene does not cause Fanconi anemia, a rare disease that affects ~ 1 of every 100,000 children. More...02 Oct 2017
Genetic Cause of Peritoneal Mesothelioma Discovered
Mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive tumor that, in many cases, results from exposure to asbestos, but other causes of the disease have emerged, including treatment with high-intensity therapeutic radiation and, more recently, an inherited genetic mutation. More...28 Sep 2017
Blood Test Predicts Treatments for Lung Cancer Patients
Traditionally, lung cancer diagnosis has relied solely on lung biopsies, an invasive procedure which many patients are too unwell to tolerate. A simple test, which can detect gene mutations in tumor DNA from blood samples, is giving new choices to lung cancer patients with faster diagnosis and improved access to life changing drugs.

Checklist Developed for Early Identification of Infants with SCID
Poor recognition of severe combined immune deficiency (SCID) syndrome by front-line doctors is leading to delays in diagnosis. A new testing regime aims to make diagnosis faster so that more infants with SCID, a “bubble-baby disease”, can receive life-saving treatment in time. More...26 Sep 2017
