In study, genetic testing catches missed cardiac diagnoses
By Joseph Constance
Researchers at Northwestern University and colleagues reported that in their cohort study of 4,782 patients with a suspected genetic cardiomyopathy or arrhythmia, the combined testing approach captured nearly 11% of patients whose diagnosis would have been missed if genetic testing had been limited to a specific suspected disease.

CAP calls for action to reduce health disparities
By LabPulse.com staff writers
If passed, the Social Determinants Accelerator Act of 2021 (HR 2503) could improve healthcare data collection between federal agencies and establish a federal council to develop plans to address determinants plaguing beneficiaries in the Medicaid program, CAP said. In addition, the legislation will provide grants and assistance to state, tribal, and local governments to deploy strategies addressing these issues in their own communities.

Severe COVID-19 risk linked to lower HIV risk
By Leah Sherwood
The variant in question, which is associated with severe COVID-19, is located on chromosome 3 in a region that encodes for chemokine receptors. Individuals who carry the factor have decreased levels of the chemokine receptors CCR3, CCR5, and CXCR6, which was the clue to the link with HIV infection, since low values of these three receptors are associated with a lower prevalence of HIV infection, according to the paper's author, Hugo Zeber, PhD, of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology.

Study to use genetic testing to evaluate heart disease
By LabPulse.com staff writers
Researchers from Dignity Health's Chandler Regional Medical Center, Mercy Gilbert Medical Center, and St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center will gather approximately 2,000 DNA samples from men and women between the ages of 40 and 60 with no known history of heart disease. The samples will be analyzed for genetic markers known to cause heart disease at Baylor College of Medicine's Human Genome Sequencing Center Clinical Lab in Houston.

Revenues from coagulation lab and POC tests near $4B in 2021
By Bruce Carlson
Hemostasis (coagulation) is a complex process in which multiple enzymes and proteins regulate blood flow and clot formation. Coagulation (clot formation), fibrinolysis (the breakup of blood clots), and platelet aggregation are a part of this process.
