Researchers assessed several approaches for a circulating cell-free deoxyribonucleic acid (cfDNA)-based multi-cancer early detection (MCED) test. Defining the clinical limit of detection (LOD) based on circulating tumor allele fraction (cTAF) enables the comparison of different approaches.
Researchers identified a genetic association signal, via genome-wide association studies, between severe COVID-19 with systemic lupus erythematosus, an autoimmune disease.
In a new study, researchers examined the gene-environment (GxE) interactions between pet ownership in infancy and the 17q12-21 (asthma-risk) locus concerning wheezing.
