1/ Your genome report says you have a disease-causing mutation.

Reanalysis 13 months later: it was a sequencing artifact.

MedSeq found 164 "rare variants" appeared in >10% of their patients. Population databases missed them all.

1000% I'm losing count of the number of times someone has passed me AI outputs verbatim and I've got halfway through cleaning up their work before I've realized they never did any work in the first place and they should have just prompted me. You can use it, just be transparent I am begging you all

In patients with melanoma who had surgical removal of tumor, receiving a customized mRNA cancer vaccine increased protection against recurrence by 44% at 2 years when compared to standard therapy.

At 5 years, it appears that protection slightly increases to 49%.

Medicaid has a new way to pay for costly sickle cell treatment: Only if it works Medicaid is doing a novel payment system for the new, promising and expensive sickle cell treatment. It may become a model for all gene therapies being developed.
