Researchers in the United Kingdom have demonstrated that advanced DNA testing for congenital cataracts can quickly and accurately diagnose a number of rare diseases marked by childhood blindness, according to a study published online in Ophthalmology, the journal of the American Academy of Ophthalmology. Using a single test, doctors were able to tailor care specifically to a child's condition based on their mutations, reducing the time and money spent on diagnosis and enabling earlier treatment and genetic counseling. Each year, between 20,000 and 40,000 children worldwide are born with congenital cataracts, a disease that clouds the lens of the eye and often requires surgery and treatment to prevent blindness.[i] The disease can arise following a maternal infection or be inherited as an isolated abnormality. Congenital cataracts can also appear as a symptom of more than 100 rare diseases, making mutations in the 115 genes associated with congenital cataracts useful as diagnostic markers for the illnesses. Diagnosing these rare diseases previously proved a lengthy, costly and inconclusive process involving numerous clinical assessments and taking a detailed family history. DNA testing, one gene at a time, would have taken years to complete. Employing new DNA sequencing technology, called targeted next-generation sequencing, researchers … Continue reading →

RACINE When sexual assault victims go into the All Saints emergency room, they are not always ready to contact police. Hospital staff give those victims choices, and as one of those options they are able to have a forensic exam where DNA evidence is collected in case they decide to work with police later. In the near future that evidence could be sent to Madison for storage, possibly giving some victims extra time to report. That evidence is currently stored at Wheaton Franciscan-All Saints hospital, 3801 Spring St., for three to six months and up to a year for some cases, although space is limited, said Rachel Cortez, coordinator of the hospitals Sexual Assault Treatment Center. But at other hospitals and clinics around the state, sometimes that evidence is only stored for a matter of days or weeks, said Jill Karofsky, executive director of crime victim services for the state Department of Justice. The state is now planning on going to a new system where evidence collected from sexual assault victims would be stored in one centralized place at the crime lab in Madison, Karofsky said, and there would be statewide consistency in how the DNA evidence is stored.
