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...

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...

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...

Genetic Risk Score Predicts Prostate Cancer Drug Response

Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer is when the cancer has spread to parts of the body other than the prostate, and it is able to grow and spread even though drugs or other treatments to lower the amount of male sex hormones are being used to manage the cancer. More...

Novel Inherited Mutation Predisposes Children to Medulloblastoma

Cancer genomics has revealed many genes and core molecular processes that contribute to human malignancies, but the genetic and molecular bases of many rare cancers remains unclear. Genetic predisposition accounts for 5% to 10% of cancer diagnoses in children. More...

Reactive Pneumocytes Identified by Distinctive Cytology

One of the most challenging and exceedingly common diagnostic dilemmas in pulmonary pathology is the distinction between reactive and neoplastic epithelial atypia. In particular, reactive pneumocytes in various infectious or inflammatory lung diseases can exhibit marked cytological atypia, which can closely resemble malignancy. More...

Susceptibility Gene Identified for Idiopathic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) is a lung disorder characterized by high blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries. In this instance, “idiopathic” means that the cause of the pulmonary artery hypertension is unknown. More...
