Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidies does not improve live birth rates in couples undergoing intracytoplasmic ...

Noninvasive prenatal screening, involving analysis of fetal cell-free DNA in maternal blood, is currently available only for a small number of conditions caused by large chromosomal abnormalities.

PCR genetic analysis has been in the spotlight since COVID-19, but light is now further facilitating PCR-free methods. Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have developed a light-induced DNA ...

The KAUST-developed technology uses simple molecular biology strategies to seek out the genomic regions that are suspected of harboring complex mutations, deletions or rearrangements. Despite rapid ...

When the Human Genome Project concluded 21 years ago, it opened the door for genetic testing and a promise for lifesaving screenings and personalized medicine. An innovation that serves as a key ...

As more couples in India turn to assisted reproduction to build families, the country's leading fertility and embryology ...

Genetic variants that cause rare disorders may remain elusive even after expansive testing, such as exome sequencing. The diagnostic yield of genome sequencing, particularly after a negative ...

Genetic testing can help doctors diagnose some neurological disorders, such as Huntington’s disease. It can also provide insights into a person’s risk of future health conditions. Genetic testing ...

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 ...

Genetic testing, often via a blood sample, can confirm a muscular dystrophy diagnosis. It can also identify specific gene mutations to help guide treatment and determine whether or not someone is a ...

Hi. I’m Art Caplan. I’m at the Division of Medical Ethics at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. A new company, Nucleus Genomics, recently announced a whole new program of genetic testing. It is way past ...
