How to Detect Cancer Early?

Early Late

Cancer invasionAngiogenesisMetastasis

Diagnosis

Premalignant progression

• Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in blood carry mutations.

• CTCs could be used as diagnostic markers. • No. of CTCs in blood is low. Highly specific

and sensitive assays are needed for early cancer detection.

Red Blood Cell Antigen Genotyping• Serological methods are labor intensive and expensive

• About 5% of transfusion patients lack a common blood group antigen and risk developing an antibody to the missing blood antigen.

− Hemolysis of subsequently transfused blood

• Is there a high throughput method to screen blood donors for antigen genotypes?

25

genotypes?− Molecular genotyping has a better analytic specificity and sensitivity then

serological methods.− High throughput SNP genotyping methods can first screen a donor

population to identify donors of specific blood types and then followed up by a confirmatory serological test.

− Four antigens chosen for genotype/phenotype concordance study for providing blood to Sickle Cell patients

> Rh E/e; Fya /Fyb; Jka /Jkb ; K/k

− Three antigens and one SNP responsible for silencing expression of the Fy antigen were chosen to detect rare antigen negative phenotypes

> Jsa /Jsb; Joa; Hy; Fy (GATA)

Violin plot showing the distribution of miRNA expression levels. miRNAshave been sorted according to expression frequency and all zero valueshave been removed showing a correlation between expression level andexpression frequency.

Hierarchical clustering analysis of theexpression of 61 miRNAs in 24 single cellsreveals a variety of expression patterns.
