Three Factors Distinguish MODY, a Rare Diabetes, in Youth

 Identifying maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) in pediatric populations close to diabetes diagnosis is difficult. Misdiagnosis and unnecessary insulin treatment are common. MODY is a monogenic, dominantly inherited form of diabetes that typically arises in adolescence or young adulthood, and accounts for 1%-4% of cases of pediatric diabetes. More...

Alzheimer's Disease Gene Expression Varies by Brain Cell Type

 Genetic variants in apolipoprotein E (APOE) and other genes have been implicated in late-onset Alzheimer's disease through genome-wide association studies and other analyses. More...

Diagnosing Disease Conditions by Analyzing Plasma Protein Expression Patterns

 A proof-of-concept study demonstrated that protein expression patterns in plasma samples were indicative of many different health issues, and that combining large-scale protein scanning with machine learning was a viable approach for the development of new diagnostic and prognostic tools. More...

Home Urine Collection for More Accurate Prostate Cancer Detection

 A standardized sampling system enables men being tested for prostate cancer to collect a urine sample at home and mail it to a laboratory for analysis. More...

Genetic Architectures of Schizophrenia Compared in Different Populations

 While the common genetic variants contributing to schizophrenia in East Asian individuals appear to broadly resemble those found in Europeans, polygenic risk scores (PRS) for the condition cannot necessarily be transferred from one population to the next. More...

Marker Panel Detects Early Liver Cancer with Increased Sensitivity

 Several types of cancer can form in the liver. The most common type of liver cancer is hepatocellular carcinoma, which begins in the main type of liver cell (hepatocyte). Other types of liver cancer, such as intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and hepatoblastoma, are much less common. More...

Rare Genetic Variants Associated with Sudden Cardiac Death

 A recent study has assessed the prevalence of rare pathogenic variants in sudden cardiac death cases versus controls, and the prevalence and clinical importance of such mutations in an asymptomatic adult population. More...
