Screening is a test to detect early disease or risk factors for disease in large numbers of apparently healthy individuals. In medicine, it is checking for disease when there are no symptoms.
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...
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...
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...
Susceptibility to coronary artery disease (CAD) is claimed to be 40% to 60% inherited, but until recently genetic risk factors predisposing to CAD have been elusive. Comprehensive prevention...
In the United States, invasive aspergillosis (IA), an invasive fungal infection of the upper respiratory tract of immune compromised patients, is usually caused by Aspergilus fumigatus, while...
This presentation focuses on contemporary methods for detection of monoclonal proteins (M-protiens) that are associated with multiple myeloma and other plasma cell dyscrasias. The basic princ...
Genetic testing is becoming a widespread practice and with human genome fully sequenced we want to develop best methods to do it. Single gene or single mutation screening is pretty much becom...
