Researchers at Rutgers and Emory University are gaining insights into how schizophrenia develops by studying the strongest-known genetic risk factor. When a small portion of Chromosome 3 is missing — known as 3q29 deletion syndrome — it increases the risk for schizophrenia by about 40 fold. Researchers have now analyzed overlapping patterns of altered gene […]
A series of tests may be necessary to diagnose multiple myeloma. A doctor may order blood, urine, and imaging tests. A biopsy can help confirm a diagnosis. For some people, genetic testing may be beneficial. Multiple myeloma, or simply myeloma, occurs when plasma cells grow uncontrollably and become cancerous.

The World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are tracking a new, highly mutated lineage of the virus that causes COVID-19. Six cases in four countries have been detected since late July. Scientists are keeping an eye on the new lineage, named BA.2.86, because it has 36 mutations that distinguish […]
Abstract Pronounced immune escape by the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant has resulted in many individuals possessing hybrid immunity, generated through a combination of vaccination and infection. Concerns have been raised that omicron breakthrough infections in triple-vaccinated individuals result in poor induction of omicron-specific immunity, and that prior SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with immune dampening. Taking a […]
COVID testing has picked up a new variant called BA.2.86 in several countries.Credit: Spencer Platt/Getty Researchers are racing to determine whether a highly mutated coronavirus variant that has popped up in three continents will be a global concern — or much ado about nothing. Several laboratories detected the variant last week, and it has been […]
Abstract Heart disease is a significant global cause of mortality, and predicting it through clinical data analysis poses challenges. Machine learning (ML) has emerged as a valuable tool for diagnosing and predicting heart disease by analyzing healthcare data. Previous studies have extensively employed ML techniques in medical research for heart disease prediction. In this study, […]
