Indicators
Beta-2-microglobulin protein (119 aa, ~14 kDa) is encoded by the human B2M gene. This protein plays a role in immune responses and is a key component of major histocompatibility complex class I molecules. The protein is localized to the surface of cells and is utilized as a prognostic marker in persons with cancers that involve white blood cells. The polypeptide is also used as a marker in kidney damage diagnosis and in the detection of viral infection.
Glossary Term
Any deviation of results or inferences from the truth, or processes leading to such deviation.
Tests
A bilirubin blood test measures the levels of bilirubin in your blood. Bilirubin is a yellowish substance made during your body's normal process of breaking down old red blood cells. Bilirubin is found in bile, a fluid your liver makes to help you digest food.
Tests
A bilirubin in urine test measures the levels of bilirubin in your urine. Normally, bilirubin isn't found in urine. If there is bilirubin in your urine (called bilirubinuria), it may be an early sign of a liver condition .
Glossary Term
A family of discrete probability density functions, which models systems that meet the following requirements: 1) the number of trials (n) is fixed; 2) there are only two outcomes for each trial, success or failure; 3) the outcome of each trial is independent; and 4) all trials have the same probability (p) of success. Binomial distributions show the likelihood of the number of successful trials versus the total number of trials.
Glossary Term
A biological or chemical substance that exerts toxic or pathologic effects on living entities.
Glossary Term
A storage facility of biospecimens that includes tissue samples, fluids, and molecular derivatives such as DNA, RNA, and proteins. The biorepository has stringent guidelines regarding the standardized collection, handling, storage, and documentation of biological specimens.
Indicators
This anti-apoptotic gene regulates apoptotic activity. BIRC3 gene promotes tumor cell survival.
Glossary Term
A characteristic of experiment design in which one or more groups involved (receiving, administering, or evaluating intervention) are unaware of which intervention any particular subject is receiving.
Indicators
This gene plays a role in DNA unwinding and recombination-mediated telomere lengthening.
Tests
A blood alcohol test measures the amount of alcohol (also called ethanol) in a sample of your blood. Alcohol is the ingredient in beer, wine, and distilled spirits (liquor) that makes you feel intoxicated (drunk).
Tests
A blood differential test measures the amount of each type of white blood cell (WBC) that you have in your blood. This test can help diagnose or monitor an infection or condition that affects your immune system .
