Panel A, no color change for sample with deficient G6PD enzymatic activity; Panel B, distinct purple color for sample with normal G6PD enzymatic activity (Photo courtesy of Access Bio).

Field Evaluation of Quantitative G6PD Diagnostics Reviewed

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PDd) is the most common enzymopathy with at least 400 million individuals affected worldwide. More than 185 clinically relevant variants of G6PDd have been reported with a spectrum of associated enzyme deficiencies. More...

Pancreatic Proteins Increase Sensitivity of Type 1 Diabetes Tests

There are approximately 29.1 million people living with diabetes and about 18,000 children in the USA are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, with diagnoses peaking around the age of 14. The disease is controllable with insulin injections, pumps and constant blood sugar testing. More...

Type 2 Diabetes Misdiagnosed in African Americans

Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is used to diagnose type 2 diabetes (T2D) and assess glycemic control in patients with diabetes. Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified 18 HbA1c-associated genetic variants. More...

Low-Volume Aldosterone Immunoassay Validated for Small Samples

Heart failure is a severe cardiovascular disease in adults and children and is characterized by structural or functional abnormalities of the heart. Heart failure leads to an inappropriate blood circulation and subsequently to an undersupply of metabolizing tissues with oxygen and nutrients. More...

Potential Biomarkers of AMD Identified in Human Plasma

Patients with even an early stage of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) carry signs of the disease in their blood that may be detected through special laboratory tests, according to a new study. The findings may lead to earlier diagnoses, better prognostic information, and ultimately more precise treatments for earlier stages of AMD, the leading cause of blindness in people over age 50 in developed countries.
