Engineers Develop Genetic Testing Device to Detect Rare Mutations

A team led by Rutgers University-New Brunswick engineers has developed a portable device capable of detecting rare genetic mutations from a single drop of blood. The instrument, described in a study published in Communications Engineering of the Nature Publishing Group, was shown in lab experiments to quickly and accurately test for a genetic condition called hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis, which can cause heart problems.
