Finnish researchers identified the cause for LGL leukemia

2012-05-17

LGL leukemia is a relatively rare, malignant blood disease of the mature T-cells and, in many cases, it is related to autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. The pathogenetic mechanism of the disease has been unknown and it has previously been unclear if the disease is an overreaction of the normal defense system or a malignant hematological disease. One of the key symptoms of LGL disease is a low count of white blood cells (neutrophils), which may predispose the patients to life-threatening infections. It was discovered that patients suffering from LGL leukemia ...

The study – published today (May 17) in the British Journal of Cardiology – describes data from two areas in Yorkshire where palliative care and heart failure services are fully integrated – Bradford & Airedale ...

A team led by researchers from the Broad Institute and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) explored naturally occurring genetic variations in humans to test the connection between HDL levels and heart attack. By studying the genes of roughly ...
