Genetic testing can help doctors diagnose some neurological disorders, such as Huntington’s disease. It can also provide insights into a person’s risk of future health conditions. Genetic testing ...

A cutting-edge genetic test can rapidly detect and identify almost any kind of disease-causing microorganism in the human body, whether it's a virus, bacteria, fungus or parasite, researchers say.

A genomic test developed at UC San Francisco to rapidly detect almost any kind of pathogen – virus, bacteria, fungus or parasite – has proved successful after a decade of use. The test has the ...

Testing can help identify genetic lineage, confirm or rule out an inherited genetic disorder, assess your risk of developing or passing on a genetic disorder, and select which drugs may be most ...

To diagnose hereditary angioedema (HAE), doctors will run a series of blood tests as well as genetic testing if needed. Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a genetic condition that causes episodes of ...

The review is part of a larger project from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs studying genomic classifier testing for prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer ...

Genetic testing, including germline and somatic, is vital for prostate cancer prognosis and personalized treatment strategies. PARP inhibitors, targeting BRCA mutations, are a promising therapy for ...

For the more than 300,000 women diagnosed with breast cancer each year, one of the biggest challenges is uncertainty around treatment options. Treatment isn’t one-size-fits-all and often comes with ...

Genetic disorders can occur due to mutations in one gene (monogenic), multiple genes (multifactorial inheritance), and mutation in one or more chromosomes. Point mutations are where one nucleotide in ...
