he Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP) has published a new report that addresses the challenges in
defining the clinical utility (CU) of molecular diagnostics
for inherited diseases and cancer. The manuscript titled
"The Spectrum of Clinical Utilities in Molecular Pathology
Testing Procedures for Inherited Conditions and Cancer:
A Report of the Association for Molecular Pathology" was
released online ahead of publication in the September
2016 issue of The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics.
While molecular diagnostics (MDx) are currently
employed for a broad range of purposes, including diagnosis, prognosis, risk assessment, prediction of future
disease onset, and selection and monitoring of therapies,
AMP is concerned that drastic shifts in evidence demands
and narrow clinical utility definitions may hinder the use of
MDx for some applications. The new standards of clinical
utility outlined in the publication are intended to provide
a framework for clinicians to employ MDx more broadly for
effective patient management.
The publication outlines the AMP Framework for the Evidence Needed to Demonstrate (FEND) Clinical Utility Task
Force, which recommends clinical utility definitions aimed
at recognizing and detailing both the full contribution and
value molecular diagnostic bring to the clinical setting.

new report from consulting firm
Grandview Research predicts the
global biomarker market, driven significantly by the growth of companion
diagnostics and personalized medicine, will reach $78.2 billion by 2024.
Factors anticipated to influence
growth include the need for disease-specific biomarkers for the
development of diagnostics, increasing research and development funding, and the rising prevalence of
cancer and cardiovascular diseases-

the result of an aging population.
These factors should create significant opportunities in the coming
years. Other factors affecting growth
include increased government
spending on research, and the market
launch of diagnostics kits for screening high-risk patient populations.
Other key findings of the research
show:
The safety biomarkers segment captured the largest share of the market,
