BMC Medicine 2008, 6 :26
A new panel of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for detection of genetic associations in multiple myeloma may be useful in predicting survival and highlights the impact of genetic heterogeneity in predicting treatment outcome.
BMC Medicine 2008, 6 :25
An increased cortisol/cortisone ratio in venous umbilical cord blood is associated with increased systolic blood pressure at age 3, suggesting that in utero exposure to maternal glucocorticoids may predispose to hypertension in later life.
BMC Medicine 2008, 6 :23
Young children in malaria-endemic western Kenya have low levels of red cell complement regulatory proteins, increasing the susceptibility of red cells to complement-mediated destruction during malaria infection.
