Genetic testing for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) can tell doctors if someone has leukemia, what type they may have, and whether treatment is working. The tests look for atypical changes in certain ...

Molecular testing, or molecular diagnostics, refers to a group of tests that look at the genetic material in a specimen. It can detect genetic risk factors for certain diseases or provide evidence of ...

As genetic sequencing technology becomes more accessible and efficient, researchers have made significant strides in understanding the genetic underpinnings of various diseases. This knowledge has led ...

Repeats of DNA sequences, often referred to as 'junk DNA' or 'dark matter,' that are found in chromosomes and could contribute to cancer or other diseases have been challenging to identify and ...

For many diseases and chronic conditions, an individual's genes play a role in their likelihood of developing the disease. While some inherited diseases, such as cystic fibrosis or sickle cell anemia, ...

A recent article in JAMA Internal Medicine describes a common genetic mutation found in many breast cancer patients who do ...

We searched for evidence from studies known as 'clinical trials' that compared rapid TB tests with traditional methods of testing for TB, like smear microscopy and culture. We summarised the findings ...

For decades, geneticists have known that most common illnesses are not caused by a single rogue gene but by intricate ...
