Direct Molecular Assay Developed for Zika Diagnosis

Zika virus (ZIKV), a mosquito-borne Flavivirus, is a positive single-stranded RNA virus with a nucleic acid length of about 10.7kb. This virus has been spreading rapidly and there have been large-scale outbreaks worldwide in recent years. ZIKV has drawn attention as it may cause severe symptoms while no specific medical treatment or vaccine is currently available. More...

BRCA2 Mutations Linked to Pediatric Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Risk

Inherited mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are most typically associated with an increased risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer. BRCA2 was the third most frequently mutated gene (14 occurrences) among 3,006 survivors of childhood cancer, with the highest number observed among survivors of lymphoma. More...
