Mayo researchers are moving ‘omics’ clinical trials from clinic to people’s homes
By Susan Murphy 
An innovative way to conduct genomics research is underway to transition some omics-related studies out of hospitals, labs, and clinics to take them directly to people in their homes and communities. At Mayo Clinic’s Center for Individualized Medicine, clinical trial study staff, including coordinators, physicians and scientists, are working hard to increase trial access for […]

A rare genetic cause for a common medical condition
By Susan Murphy
By Michael Clayton Genetic testing for inherited conditions is performed on a patient’s DNA taken from either blood, saliva or, rarely, skin biopsy. This information from a person’s DNA can provide diagnostic workup of rare inherited conditions. And together with a comprehensive personal and family history, it can help patients understand how a genetic disorder may affect them and their family. Diagnosed with diabetes more […]
