Germline Genetic Testing Assesses Inherited Risk for Myeloid Malignancies
Inherited risk for hematologic malignancies was historically thought to be relatively rare; however, the increased use of next-generation sequencing has identified more patients with germline genetic mutations that are known to increase cancer risk. More...26 Dec 2019

Hepatic Dysfunction and Coagulopathy Quantified in Fatal Dengue Fever
Dengue fever (DF) is currently one of the most severe public health problems. Each year, an estimated 390 million dengue infections occur around the world. Clinical presentations of dengue are diverse and non-specific, often with unpredictable clinical progression and outcome. More...24 Dec 2019

Distinct Myelodysplastic Syndrome Subtypes Identified by Genomic, Transcriptomic Analysis
Myelodysplastic syndrome is a premalignant disease that affects myeloid cell. It is a precursor to acute myeloid leukemia, an aggressive blood cancer caused by the accumulation of immature blood cells. More...23 Dec 2019

Fresh Red Blood Cells Transfusions No Better Than Older Ones
Red blood-cell transfusions are commonly administered in critically ill children who have illnesses that increase the need for transfusion, such as trauma, cancer chemotherapy, major surgery with significant intraoperative bleeding, and conditions such as sickle cell disease and thalassemia. More...23 Dec 2019

Single-Cell Analysis Uncovers Regulatory Program in Rare Leukemia
Identifying the causes of human diseases requires deconvolution of abnormal molecular phenotypes spanning DNA accessibility, gene expression and protein abundance. Mixed-phenotype acute leukemia exhibits features of both acute myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia and, as such, is marked by features of multiple hematopoietic lineages. More...18 Dec 2019

Autoimmunity Markers Prevalence Assessed in Immune Thrombocytopenia
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an acquired autoimmune disorder resulting from decreased platelet production and increased platelet destruction. Platelet autoantibodies in ITP lead to both acceleration of platelet destruction in the spleen and inhibition of platelet production by bone marrow megakaryocytes. More...17 Dec 2019

TP53 Gene Promoter Methylation Impacts Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a clonal disorder that results in the accumulation of morphologically mature-looking and immunologically incompetent lymphoid cells in the bone marrow, peripheral blood, and lymphatic tissues. More...11 Dec 2019
