New Gene-Based Blood Tests Identify More Skin CancersNYU Langone Medical Center
“There are other advanced imaging technologies that can detect skin cancers, but they’re big, expensive machines that aren’t available in the clinic,” said Tavassolian, whose work appears in the March 23 issue ofScientific Reports. “We’re creating a low-cost device that’s as...
the early stage of the disease, and is characterized by the aberrant growth of cells in the cervix lining. It is primarily caused by Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection, which spreads through sexual activity. This
Discovery of cancer risk variants in the sequence of the germline genome can shed light on carcinogenesis. Here we describe gene burden association analyses, aggregating rare missense and loss of function variants, at 22 cancer sites, including 130,991 cancer cases and 733,486 controls from Iceland...

and high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection [4,5]. While HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancers often respond better to therapy, the majority of HNSCC patients present with advanced-stage disease characterized by high rates of locoregional recurrence, distant metastasis, and 5-year survival rates ...
The possibility that synonymous mutations might be enriched in cancer has been explored in several recent studies. However, none of these studies control for all three types of mutational heterogeneity (patient, histology, and gene) that are known to affect the accurate ...
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) provide a powerful method for identifying the loci and genes that contribute to disease. However, in many cases, the specific cell types and states that confer disease risk through these genes remain unknown. Determ
To identify the incorrect pair from the given options regarding types of cancer, we will analyze each option step by step.1. Understanding Melanomas: - Melanomas are a type of skin cancer that originates in melanocytes, the
Host anti-viral factors are essential for controlling SARS-CoV-2 infection but remain largely unknown due to the biases of previous large-scale studies toward pro-viral host factors. To fill in this knowledge gap, we perform a genome-wide CRISPR dropout
