Inherited Genetic Variants Increase Risk of Hodgkin Lymphoma
Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a type of lymphoma, in which cancer originates from a specific type of white blood cell called lymphocytes, where multinucleated Reed–Sternberg cells (RS cells) are present in the patient's lymph nodes. Symptoms may include fever, night sweats, and weight loss. Often, nonpainful enlarged lymph nodes occur in the neck, under the arm, or in the groin. More...14 Sep 2022


Portable Sample-to-Answer PCR System Enables Multiplex Real-Time Detection of 27 Targets
