NGS and sophisticated bioinformatics algorithms are improving the accuracy with which the homologous genes, such as SMN1 and SMN2, involved in inherited disorders can be mapped

The gene signature, called META-16, was highly effective at predicting time to metastasis and response to anti-androgen therapy 

One of the largest US genetic studies of the virus supports public health decisions limiting contact

For patients undergoing PCI, the choice of antiplatelet therapy can be critical to post-treatment success, and to minimize the chance of heart attack or stroke.

Novel genetic measure could dramatically improve how doctors assess the risk of sustaining a fracture due to osteoporosis or fragility
