Staying One Step Ahead of Cancer
By Center for Individualized Medicine 
Four researchers at Mayo Clinic combined their talents to spur a “bedside to bench” movement that takes the issues they face in the clinic back to the laboratory in the hopes of discovering biomarkers to help specific patients facing difficult medical problems. George Vasmatzis, Ph.D., co-director of Mayo Clinic’s Biomarker Discovery Program in […]

Tracing the Lineage of Lung Cancer Tumors
By Center for Individualized Medicine
A diagnostic test based on chromosomal rearrangements can trace the lineage of lung cancer to determine whether two separate lung cancers in the same patient are independent tumors or a tumor that has spread to another region of the lung, a Mayo Clinic study has found. For patients with multiple tumors, that distinction […]

Diversity in Your Gut Influences Your Health
By Center for Individualized Medicine
Before reaching for that daily antacid, you might consider what it’s doing to the trillions of bugs living in your gut. A new Mayo Clinic study in the open access journal Microbiome shows that people who regularly take proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have less diversity among their gut bacteria, putting them at increased […]

Genetic Markers for Alcoholism Recovery Discovered at Mayo Clinic
By Center for Individualized Medicine
Post originally featured on Mayo Clinic’s News Network, written by Bob Nellis In an international study, Mayo Clinic researchers and collaborators have identified genetic markers that may help in identifying individuals who could benefit from the alcoholism treatment drug acamprosate. The findings, published in the journal Translational Psychiatry, show that patients carrying these […]

Findings Reveal Relationship with TP63 & p63 Protein Expression in Lung Adenocarcinoma
By Center for Individualized Medicine
Using next-generation sequencing analysis of mate-pair DNA libraries, a group of researchers from the Center for Individualized Medicine recently identified novel chromosomal rearrangements involving TP63 in approximately 6% in peripheral T-cell lymphomas and demonstrated that these were associated with a poorer overall survival than lymphomas without these rearrangements. These rearrangements also were found in occasional B-cell […]
