Exome Sequencing Identified Pathogenic Variants in Cerebral Palsy Patients

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of permanent movement disorders that appear in early childhood. Signs and symptoms vary among people and over time. Often, symptoms include poor coordination, stiff muscles, weak muscles, and tremors. More...

Biomarkers Evaluate Kidney Injury in Cancer Patients

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) are monoclonal antibodies that can unleash the immune system by blocking surface molecules that serve as important breaks (or checkpoints) that mediate negative regulation of T cells. ICI have substantially improved the prognosis for patients with a wide range of malignancies. More...

Biomarker Predicts Pancreatic Cancer Patients’ Response to CD40 Immunotherapy

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most common type of pancreatic cancer and currently the third leading cause of cancer deaths in the USA. Despite the fact that it only accounts for about 3% of new cancer cases, it is responsible for more than 7% of all cancer deaths, and only10% of patients survive five years with the disease. More...

TAP1 Gene Polymorphisms Associated with Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis

Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is a respiratory tract disease that affects children and adults and is characterized by the recurrent proliferation of multiple papillomas. The proliferation of multiple papillomas within the airway in RRP primarily affects the larynx. More...

Blood Test Detects Early Colorectal Adenomas

Colonoscopies are the gold standard for screening but have low compliance rates due to the invasiveness of the procedure. Stool-based tests have poor compliance and low sensitivity for advanced adenomas (AA), at about 24% to 42%. More...

Liquid Biopsy Predicts Colon Cancer Relapse Months Earlier

Colorectal cancer (CRC), also known as bowel cancer, colon cancer, or rectal cancer, is the development of cancer from the colon or rectum (parts of the large intestine). Signs and symptoms may include blood in the stool, a change in bowel movements, weight loss, and fatigue. More...

Cell-Free DNA Detects Heart Allograft Acute Rejection

After heart transplantation, Endomyocardial biopsy (EMBx) is used to monitor for acute rejection (AR). Unfortunately, EMBx is invasive and its conventional histologic interpretation has limitations. More...
