Bacterial Blood Infections Tied to Heightened Colon Cancer Risk
Colorectal cancer occurs in the colon or the rectum and it is the third most common type of cancer in the USA. Around 90% of cases occur in people aged 50 years or older. As well as age, risk factors include a family history of colorectal cancer, some genetic syndromes, obesity, and a lack of exercise, a diet low in fruit and vegetables, and inflammatory bowel disease.

Multicancer Blood Test Aids Screen for Cancer Guide Intervention
As minimally invasive screening tests, liquid biopsies could help reduce cancer-specific morbidity and mortality through earlier detection. However, there is debate on how to effectively screen large populations for cancer, including individuals who do not have symptoms or history of the disease. More...12 May 2020


Targeted Next-Generation Sequencing Validated for Lysosomal Storage Disorders Diagnosis
Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are a group of more than 50 inherited rare disorders characterized by the accumulation of specific undegraded metabolites in the lysosomes. This overstorage is commonly caused by a deficient or absent activity of one of the many lysosomal hydrolases or, in a few cases, by the deficit of other non-enzymatic lysosomal proteins.

Genetic Alterations Analyzed in Pediatric Low-Grade Glioma
Low grade gliomas are brain tumors that come from two different types of brain cells known as astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. They are classified as a grade 2 tumor making them the slowest growing type of glioma in adults. More...28 Apr 2020

Molecular Differences Discovered Among Ovarian Cancer Subgroups
Ovarian cancer is a highly diverse disease with a high rate of overall mortality. High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) is the most common and aggressive type of epithelial ovarian cancer, exhibiting high levels of tumor heterogeneity and variable clinical outcomes. More...28 Apr 2020

Important Genetic Mechanism Behind Inflammatory Bowel Disease Revealed
The two main forms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, have an important genetic component. More than 240 genetic regions have been identified that associate with IBD, more than any other pathological condition that has been studied. More...23 Apr 2020
