Multiplex Microsphere Immunoassay Identifies Three Flavivirus Infections

The explosive spread of Zika virus (ZIKV) and associated complications in flavivirus-endemic regions underscore the need for sensitive and specific serodiagnostic tests to distinguish ZIKV, dengue virus (DENV) and other flavivirus infections. More...

Pathogenic Germline Variants Found in Breast Cancer Patients

There is still considerable debate on the value of multigene panel testing for inherited cancer in patients with breast cancer, based on both the prevalence of pathogenic/likely pathogenic (P/LP) variants and any therapeutic implications from genetic test results. More...

Biomarker Identified for Early Beta-Cell Death in Type 1 Diabetes

Beta cells in the pancreas produce insulin and their death is a key feature of Type 1 diabetes, and that loss starts long before diagnosis. However, there has been no straightforward way to measure that early loss. More...

Automated Collection of CTCs Improves Prostate Cancer Diagnosis

A recent paper described the benefits of circulating tumor cell (CTC) analysis for improving the diagnosis of aggressive prostate cancer beyond currently used PSA (prostate specific antigen) measurement, biopsy and/or MRI imagery. More...

Zika Virus Test Kit Receives American Marketing Approval

A blood test designed to confirm diagnosis of Zika virus infection has been granted 510(k) marketing approval that allows it to be sold in the United States. More...

Autoimmune Antibody Identified as Biomarker for Tachycardia Syndrome

Results published in a recent paper suggested that postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) was probably an autoimmune disorder and may boost the development of a simple blood test to diagnose the condition. More...

Human Intestinal Enteroids Used to Detect Norovirus Infectivity

Human norovirus accounts for 18% of acute gastroenteritis cases worldwide. Molecular nucleic acid tests, such as real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR), are widely used for laboratory diagnosis of norovirus RNA in clinical samples. More...
