Typically, these individuals are not readily detected by currently available point-of-need (PON) rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) or microscopy. More...27 Feb 2019
Direct Blood PCR Detects Thromboembolism-Associated Mutations
Routine genetic testing is recommended in several clinical circumstances, particularly in patients with venous thrombosis at younger age, a strong family history of thrombotic disease, or in women with a history of venous thrombosis during pregnancy. More...11 Feb 2019
Infant HIV Near Point-of-Care Test Field Evaluated
Perinatal human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection contributes to an increase in morbidity and mortality among children in their first years of life, and lack of antiretroviral treatment (ART) and late ART initiation has seen more than half of the infants infected with HIV die before their second birthday. More...30 Jan 2019
Genetic Methods Rapidly Diagnoses Huntington's Disease
People with Huntington's disease suffer from jerky body movements and decreasing mental abilities. The condition usually leads to death 15 to 20 years after diagnosis. The cause of the disease is a region in the Huntingtin gene (HTT) that is absent in healthy people. More...23 Jan 2019
