Clinical OMICs NEW PRODUCTS Carrier Screening Test Through a partnership with Mount Sinai Genetic Testing Laboratory, an expanded Horizon™ genetic carrier screening test for prospective families is now available for OB/GYNs. The multidisease genetic carrier screen provides results for genetic disorders including cystic fibrosis, spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), and Tay-Sachs disease. The expanded Horizon test increases detection rates for SMA, refines risks for Fragile X syndrome, and offers expanded screening for the Ashkenazi Jewish population. Natera www.natera.com Cytomegalovirus Detection Assay The Iam CMV assay can detect and quantify clinically relevant subtypes of cytomegalovirus (CMV) in human plasma, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid, which can in turn be used to diagnose and monitor CMV infection in transplant recipients and other immunocompromised individuals. Based on Q-LAMP technology, Iam CMV is designed for use on the Liaison® Iam analyzer. DiaSorin www.diasorin.com Carbapenemase-Producing Gram-Negative Bacteria Detection The Xpert® Carba-R is an on-demand molecular test for rapid and accurate detection of carbapenemaseproducing Gram-negative bacteria that runs on the GeneXpert® System. Xpert Carba-R detects and differentiates genes encoding the most prevalent carbapenemases-reporting five gene families that comprise 68 known individual resistance genes, including KPC, NDM, VIM, OXA-48, and IMP-1. Cepheid www.cepheidinternational.com www.clinicalomics.com Pharmacogenetic Test The Millennium PGT pharmacogenetic test has been expanded and now analyzes genetic variants for 11 genes related to medication response. Millennium PGT is a saliva-based test and is paired with the Millennium Analysis of Patient Phenotype (MAPP®) report, which provides clinicians with information to support medication decisions for over 30 commonly prescribed medications across 14 medication classes. The MAPP report also includes information for 20 medications with pharmacogenetic information or specific recommendations related to use in their FDA-approved labels.
