Non-Invasive Prenatal Technology Accurately Detects Fetal Genomic Abnormalities from Maternal Blood Draw

A new study has demonstrated the effectiveness of an automated system in delivering fetal genomic profiles that closely match those obtained through genomic analysis using traditional invasive procedures. In a comprehensive clinical validation study, Menarini Silicon Biosystems (Bologna, Italy) has shown that its fetal cell-based noninvasive prenatal screening (NIPT) technology could accurately identify fetal genome-wide pathogenic copy number variants larger than 400Kb and commonly screened trisomy conditions. The findings were part of a large multicenter study highlighting its next-generation NIPT that isolates fetal cells from maternal blood. The genomic assessment of these cells was highly consistent with results from invasive diagnostic procedures. Additionally, the test being developed by Menarini has shown promise in identifying genomic conditions that are difficult to detect with the current non-invasive screening technologies, which rely on cell-free DNA (cfDNA) analysis. The study involved over 1,000 women and focused on extracting individual fetal (trophoblast) cells from maternal ...

New Highly-Sensitive Test to Help More Easily Diagnose B-Cell Lymphoma

B-cell lymphoma, a cancer primarily originating in the lymphatic system, represents about 85% of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) diagnoses. NHL ranks as the tenth most prevalent cancer globally, claiming over 250,000 lives annually. In its early stages, NHL can manifest with symptoms such as swollen lymph nodes, fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, or a red rash. These symptoms, however, can mimic the body’s typical response to infections, making a precise diagnosis crucial. symptoms of lymphoma can appear similar to the body’s normal reactive response to an infection. Now, a first-of-its-kind assay can offer diagnostic certainty for patients with suspected B-cell lymphoma. Roche (Basel, Switzerland) has introduced the first clinically approved, highly sensitive in-situ hybridization (ISH) test, the VENTANA Kappa and Lambda Dual ISH mRNA Probe Cocktail assay, available in regions accepting the CE Mark.

New Lab Test Detects Persistent HIV Strains in Africa

Most research on the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has concentrated on the virus variants prevalent in Western nations, primarily impacting men who have sex with men, with a focus on subtype B. However, less attention has been given to the variants in Africa, where the virus significantly affects women. To develop a universally effective cure, it’s crucial to investigate viral variants not only in developed regions but across different global demographics. Researchers have now developed a test to measure HIV persistence in individuals predominantly affected by African viral strains—a critical step towards finding a cure that can aid patients globally. This research, published in Nature Communications on July 2, addresses a significant shortfall in HIV research. The findings of the study by a multinational team led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine (New York, NY, USA)—similar to findings in the developed world—revealed that African HIV strains form viral reservoirs in ...

Advanced Blood Test Helps Improve Cancer Treatments

Early detection of cancer significantly increases the likelihood of successful treatment across various cancer types. In addition to personalized evaluation of therapy benefits and risks, continuous monitoring of treatment success is vital. Traditionally, oncologists rely on imaging technology and invasive procedures such as tissue biopsies, punctures, and endoscopic measures to monitor patients. Now, researchers have further developed an advanced method, a type of liquid biopsy that utilizes blood samples rather than direct tissue sampling for detecting various types of cancer. The technique, developed by researchers at the University of Zurich (UZH, Zurich, Switzerland) and the University Hospital Zurich (USZ, Zurich, Switzerland), involves sequencing and analyzing DNA fragments that circulate in the blood of patients to identify changes specific to particular cancers. The research team examined alterations in the number and length distribution of the DNA fragments, enabling them to distinguish between biologically less and more aggressive metastatic cancers even earlier ...

Magnolia Medical Announces New Platform to Reduce Misdiagnosis of Sepsis

By Mike Hollan The platform utilizes standards set forth in a recently published document from the CDC. After years of collaborating with hospitals, Magnolia Medical has launched a new digital platform designed to prevent sepsis misdiagnosis.1 The platform, Magnolia Analytics, was designed with the CDC’s recently published Blood Culture Contamination guidelines in mind. The main addition to the guidelines is a new step utilizing initial specimen diversion devices, which Magnolia specializes in. CDC notes that reducing sepsis misdiagnosis is important as it can play a key role in reducing the amount of needlessly prescribed antibiotics, which can then further play a role in reducing instances of antibiotic resistance. In a press release, Magnolia Medical co-founder and CEO Greg Bullington said, “In response to our customer’s clear unmet needs, we developed Magnolia Analytics as a custom, exclusive solution to support our hospitals in achieving and sustaining their blood culture contamination rates ...

Semi-Automated System Rapidly Identifies Pathogenic Genetic Variant Causing Rare Diseases

Many patients with rare diseases (50-75%) do not receive a diagnosis after genomic sequencing, often due to insufficient information on the variants identified. Reassessing data over time with new genetic insights can improve diagnostic rates. However, reanalyzing genetic data in clinical laboratories is often hampered by time and resource limitations. Now, a novel semi-automated system enables rapid reanalysis of unresolved rare disease cases by regularly comparing patient genomic data with the latest global research findings, aiming to identify elusive disease-causing genetic variants. Developed by Mayo Clinic researchers in 2022 (Rochester, MN, USA), the system, named RENEW (REanalysis of NEgative Whole-exome/genome data), incorporates an advanced filtering system that scans new genetic data to identify the variants responsible for a patient’s condition. A recent study demonstrated RENEW’s effectiveness, providing likely diagnoses for 63 out of 1,066 previously undiagnosed cases. RENEW can review each of the 5,741 prioritized genomic variants in about 20 ...
