Genetic Testing for Hypercholesterolemia Improves Diagnosis
Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) is caused by a genetic defect that hinders the body's ability to remove low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol from the blood. High LDL levels in the blood are more likely to result in narrowing of the arteries, which puts patients at substantially higher lifetime risk for heart disease and stroke at an early age.

Urine Test Accurately Detects Bladder Cancer Recurrence
Urinary tests have been studied for the detection of bladder tumors; however, most of these tests have not been implemented in clinical practice because of cost issues, practical aspects, or insufficient sensitivity or specificity as compared to the gold standard. More...10 Aug 2018
Infections Defined in Urothelial Bladder Tumors
Bladder cancer is estimated to be the 9th most common cancer worldwide and over 90% of bladder tumors are classed as urothelial bladder carcinomas (UBCs), with 75% to 80% presenting at non-muscle-invasive (NMIBC) stages and the remainder presenting at muscle-invasive (MIBC) and metastatic stages.

Susceptible Genes Identified for Childhood Kidney Disease
Childhood nephrotic syndrome, also known as nephrosis, is an incurable disease with an unknown cause, characterized by large amounts of protein leaving the body in the patient's urine, and protein levels in the bloodstream becoming extremely low. More...09 Aug 2018
Melanoma Biomarkers Predict Checkpoint Blocker Response
The outlook for patients with advanced melanoma has dramatically improved in recent years because of drugs known as immune checkpoint inhibitors, which mobilize the immune system to attack cancer. These drugs block checkpoint molecules that act as brakes on the immune system and unleash immune defenders such as T cells to recognize and attack cancer. More...02 Aug 2018
