Clinical OMICs NEW PRODUCTS Preimplantation Genetic Screening 50-Gene Cancer Panel Test VeriSeq™ PGS is a next-generation sequencing (NGS) solution developed for preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) of embryos using the NextSeq™ 500 and MiSeq® sequencing systems. The offering brings together the 24sure array-based platform for PGS with NGS technology to offer laboratories a scalable PGS solution. PGS is used to select chromosomally normal embryos to increase pregnancy success rates for in vitro fertilization procedures. Illumina www.illumina.com CANCP is a gene panel cancer test designed to help tailor chemotherapy to the individual patient based on the unique genomic signature of the patient's tumor. CANCP, which stands for Solid Tumor Targeted Cancer Gene Panel by Next-Generation Sequencing, scans specific regions in 50 genes known to affect tumor growth and response to chemotherapy. The test is now available to providers worldwide through Mayo Medical Laboratories. Mayo Clinic www.mayoclinic.org Malaria and Drug Resistance Point-of-Care Testing Mesothelioma Molecular Test The DecisionDx-Mesothelioma molecular test can predict survival in metastatic pleural mesothelioma (MPM) patients based on the gene expression profile signature of their tumor combined with clinical characteristics. The test reports the gene expression profile in combination with histology subtype and lymph node status to predict low risk, intermediate risk or high risk of tumor recurrence for patients with MPM. Castle Biosciences www.castlebiosciences.com 16 Clinical OMICs May 15, 2014 The first prototype of a handheld lab for 15-minute malaria diagnosis and drug resistance testing has been developed. Users can insert a disposable cartridge into the Q-POC™ universal reader to provide testing at the patient's side, allowing healthcare workers to prescribe the right drug on the first try. Clinical trials are expected later this year in Gabon.
