Laboratory Medicine: is where clinical tests are carried out to obtain information about the health of a patient to aid in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
During IVF procedures pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) allows for genetic profiling of embryos prior to replacement. Most PGD procedures during IVF are performed to select chromosomal...
Anticoagulation therapy is frequently employed to prevent stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation, prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism and pulmonary embolism in patients with prosthetic...
Cancer cells are characterized by major alterations in both cellular metabolism and epigenetic profiles. Current understanding of links between metabolism and chromatin in the context of canc...
The goal of personalized medicine is to customize healthcare to the individual patient. Pharmacogenomics, the analysis of how a patient's genetic makeup affects the individual's response to c...
The human species is particularly prone to chromosome segregation errors during maternal meiosis in the egg and during post zygotic mitosis in the preimplantation embryo. In fact, aneuploidy...
Increasingly genome sequence knowledge is unraveling the complexity of rare Mendelian disorders offering hope for our children's medical care through better disease diagnosis and ultimately p...
Cervical cancer screening has evolved significantly since the PAP smear was introduced in 1949. In particular, the association with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and the mechanism of H...
Personalized medicine is expected to benefit from the combination of genomic information with the global monitoring of molecular components and physiological states. To ascertain whether this...
With the technical costs of genome sequencing continuously dropping, it is now feasible to offer this assay in a clinical context. Empirical evidence suggests that genome and exome sequencing...
As a component of individualized medicine, pharmacogenetics (PGx) focuses on how genetic factors influence individual responses to specific medications. The clinical goals of pharmacogenetics...
Recent studies show a large prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency in populations of all ages. Concerns about excess supplementation and toxicity have emerged as a result. Th...
Survival rates for early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain unacceptably low compared to other common solid tumors. This mortality reflects a weakness in conventional staging, as...
