Opioid-Related Deaths Possibly Prevented By Gene Testing

More than 17,500 Americans died in 2015 from prescription opioid overdoses, which are more than quadruple the amount of people who died from this cause in 1999, but it is not just abuse of these medications that can lead to overdoses. More...

Study Validates Test to Predict Breast Cancer Risk

A recent study confirmed that the MammaPrint diagnostic test could identify women with ultralow risk breast cancer, which will allow them to be treated less aggressively, leading to fewer toxic side effects. More...

Three-In-One Blood Test Could Fuel Personalized Prostate Cancer Treatment

A three-in-one blood test has been developed that can predict a patient's response to Poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, as well as how well the drugs may impact survival, and how likely patients are to develop drug resistance. More...

Long-Read Genome Sequencing Diagnoses Rare Condition

Carney complex arises from mutations in the Protein Kinase CAMP-Dependent Type I Regulatory Subunit Alpha (PRKAR1A) gene, and is characterized by increased risk for several tumor types, particularly in the heart and hormone-producing glands, such as ovaries, testes, adrenal glands, pituitary gland and thyroid.
