Genomic Screening Can Identify Risk for Amyloid Cardiomyopathy

Transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) a is a rare, progressive disease characterized by the abnormal buildup of amyloid deposits composed of misfolded transthyretin protein in the body’s organs and tissues. ATTR can be hereditary and lead to a spectrum of other diseases and conditions, including cardiomyopathy, a common precursor to heart failure. More...

Cystic Pancreatic Lesion Bacteria Are Precursors to Pancreatic Cancer

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the most aggressive and lethal types of cancer. The 5-year survival rate at the time of diagnosis is about 10%, as approximately 80%–85% of patients present either unresectable or metastatic disease. PC accounts for roughly 459,000 new cases and 432,000 deaths. More...

Targeted RNA-Sequencing Panel Detects Gene Fusions in Solid Tumors

Increasingly, rearrangements resulting in gene fusions have been revealed in multiple tumor types across diverse organ systems. These gene fusions can drive tumorigenesis by altering gene expression and activity. Timely and reliable detection of fusions provides useful information to the pathologist and clinical team. More...

Specific Biomarker Investigated for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Diagnosis

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is defined by the lack of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) expression and comprises a heterogeneous group of breast cancers that exhibit distinct morphologic features and biological behavior. More...

Serum MicroRNA Panel Predict P-Tau/Aβ42 in CSF in Alzheimer's Disease

Amyloid β (Aβ) and tau pathologies are classic characteristic features of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and they are widely used as diagnostic biomarkers. AD pathology is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles in the brain. More...
