  • Genetic Diagnostics Find Common Ground Between ME/CFS, Long COVID

    Diagnostics World | PrecisionLife's new diagnostic approach is addressing a critical gap in complex chronic disease detection by targeting two genetically related conditions that share remarkable similarities. Long COVID and myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) are not just clinically similar—they're genetically connected, with researchers identifying nine genes common to both disease populations.

  • After More Than Four Decades, a Third Subtype of Castleman Disease Found

    Diagnostics World | A new subtype of Castleman disease has been identified, the first such major discovery in 45 years. While it remains unclear how many individuals stand to benefit, this is a “hugely important” development for the proportion of patients who fit neither the “unicentric” nor “multicentric” criteria long used to describe the symptoms and disease experience.
