A number of diagnostic labs have considered saliva-based SARS-CoV-2 testing but decided against it, while other groups continue to pursue it.
Variants Impacting Gene Expression of Immune Cell Types Emerge From Study
The researchers hope the datasets from their study can help to explain the effects of disease-associated variants on specific cell types of the immune system.
Breast Cancer GWAS Highlights Loci With Possible Prognostic Ties in Young Women
Four SNPs at three sites in the genome showed potential associations with breast cancer outcomes in a GWAS meta-analysis involving more than 6,000 individuals.
Point-of-Care Testing With BioFire Respiratory Panel Helps Optimize Treatments in UK Trial
While point-of-care molecular testing of patients with respiratory illness wasn't associated with lower antibiotic use, patients tested had shorter drug courses.
The method offers a way for genome-wide arrays to be used in individual patients to uncover methylated sites associated with rare genomic imprinting disorders.
