To develop a single-tube multi-marker assay for improved preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) of deletional and/or non-deletional Hb Bart's hydrops fetalis syndrome, providing haplotype confirmation of deletional status, and maximization of linkage informativity. We performed in silico mining to identify novel

Molecular typing of Mycoplasma pneumoniae is an important tool for identifying grouped cases and investigating outbreaks. In the present study, we developed a new genotyping method based on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) selected from the whole-genome sequencing of eight M.
To investigate the applicability of preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), we used trophectoderm (TE) biopsy to determine the mutation load in a 35-year-old female with mitochondrial encephalopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like syndrome (MELAS). Transfer of a mutation-free blastocyst gave birth to

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has the potential to provide typing results and detect resistance genes in a single assay, thus guiding timely treatment decisions and allowing rapid tracking of transmission of resistant clones. We evaluated the performance of a new NGS

Central serotonergic (5-HT) function is implicated in pathways to alcohol dependence, including dysphoria manifested by symptoms of anxiety and depression. However, little is known about genetic variation in central 5-HT function and its potential impact on temperament and behavior in
