The programme was subsequently expanded to include evaluations of carcinogenic risks associated with exposures to complex mixtures, life-style factors and biological agents, as well as those in specific occupations. The objective of the programme is to elaborate and publish in the form of monographs critical reviews of data on carcinogenicity for agents to which humans are known to be exposed and on specific exposure situations; to evaluate these data in terms of human risk with the help of international working groups of experts in chemical carcinogenesis and related fields; and to indicate where additional research efforts are needed.

    Blueprint Genetics Comprehensive Hematology and Hereditary Cancer

    Comprehensive Hematology and Hereditary Cancer Panel Test code: HE1401 Is a 348 gene panel that includes assessment of non-coding variants. Is ideal for patients with a clinical suspicion of hematological disorder with genetic predisposition to malignancies. This panel is designed to detect heritable germline mutations and should not be used for the detection of somatic mutations in tumor tissue. Is not recommended for patients suspected to have anemia due to alpha-thalassemia (HBA1 or HBA2). These genes are highly homologous reducing mutation detection rate due to challenges in variant call and difficult to detect mutation profile (deletions and gene-fusions within the homologous genes tandem in the human genome). Is not recommended for patients with a suspicion of severe Hemophilia A if the common inversions are not excluded by previous testing. An intron 22 inversion of the F8 gene is identified in 43%-45% individuals with severe hemophilia A and intron 1 inversion in 2%-5% (GeneReviews NBK1404; PMID:8275087, 8490618, 29296726, 27292088, 22282501, 11756167). This test does not detect reliably these inversions. Is not recommended for patients suspected to have anemia due to alpha-thalassemia (HBA1 or HBA2). These genes are highly homologous reducing mutation detection rate due to challenges in variant call and difficult to detect mutation profile (deletions and gene-fusions within the homologous genes tandem in the human genome). About Comprehensive Hematology and Hereditary Cancer Inherited hematological diseases are a group of blood disorders with variable clinical presentation. Many of them predispose to malignancies and for example patients with inherited bone marrow failure syndromes (Fanconi anemia) have a high risk of developing cancer, either leukemia or solid tumors.

Abstract Skin and subcutaneous conditions affect an estimated 1.9 billion people at any given time and remain the fourth leading cause of non-fatal disease burden worldwide. Access to dermatology care is limited due to a shortage of dermatologists, causing long wait times and leading patients to seek dermatologic care from general practitioners. However, the diagnostic accuracy of general practitioners has been reported to be only 0.24-0.70 (compared to 0.77-0.96 for dermatologists), resulting in over- and ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ under-referrals, delays in care, and errors in diagnosis and treatment. In this paper, we developed a deep learning system (DLS) to provide a differential diagnosis of skin conditions for clinical cases (skin photographs and associated medical histories).
