Genomic Differences Cause Racial Disparities in Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is a disease defined by the abnormal growth of cells. These abnormal cells can proliferate in an uncontrolled way and, if left untreated, form tumors which may metastasize or spread to other parts of the body. Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common solid organ malignancy in men, with 174,650 new diagnoses and 31,620 deaths expected in 2019 in the USA alone. More...17 Jun 2021

Intraoperative Frozen Section Detect Acute Invasive Fungal Rhinosinusitis
Acute invasive fungal rhinosinusitis (AIFRS) is a potentially lethal and rapidly progressive disease. It primarily affects immunocompromised or diabetic patients, in whom organisms that are ubiquitous, but usually harmless can invade mucosa and rapidly disseminate to the orbit and cranial cavity. More...09 Jun 2021

Analytic Validation and Clinical Utilization of Comprehensive Genomic Profiling Test
Cancer has a high clinical burden and oncology therapies are expensive. It is estimated that 1,898,160 new cancer cases will be diagnosed and over 608,570 deaths are projected to occur in the USA in 2021. The prevalence of cancer is expected to rise over time, providing an expanding unmet need for genomic tests to help physicians treat patients in a more precise manner. More...02 Jun 2021

Colorectal Cancer Relapse Predicted by ctDNA Clearance
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer around the world with more than 1.9 million new cases diagnosed annually. CRC is also the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths with a 5-year mortality rate of about 40%. More...01 Jun 2021

Jagged Ends of Urinary Cell-Free DNA Assessed in Bladder Cancer Detection
Bladder cancer is where a growth of abnormal tissue, known as a tumor, develops in the bladder lining. In some cases, the tumor spreads into the bladder muscle. The most common symptom of bladder cancer is blood in the urine, which is usually painless. More...27 May 2021

Loss of Function Mutations in GEMIN5 Cause a Neurodevelopmental Disorder
GEMIN5, an RNA-binding protein is essential for assembly of the survival motor neuron (SMN) protein complex and facilitates the formation of small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs), the building blocks of spliceosomes. More...20 May 2021
