Transgenomic and Power3 Medical Introduce NuroPro(R) Tests for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Diseases at AAN Annual Meeting
Date:5/11/2009

ch develops and provides molecular diagnostic tests and instruments for genetic analysis, and Power3, independent validation of test results for both Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases are being conducted with key clinical centers. At the AAN meeting, Power3's Scientific Advisory Board met to plan the next phase of key validation trials. The Scientific Advisory Board currently includes Stanley H. Appel, M.D. Chair of Neurology at Methodist Neurological Research Institute in Houston, TX, Marwan Sabbagh, M.D., Medical Director of the Banner Sun Health Research Institute in Sun City, AZ and principal investigator of the Alzheimer's study, Bruce Chase, PhD, Neuroscientist and Professor of Biology at the University of Nebraska, Omaha and Dr. Marcopoulou.

"This is the first formal announcement from Transgenomic and Power3 of the clinical introduction of the NuroPro blood test for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Diseases. The presentation of successful Phase I validation of NuroPro for Parkinson's disease was performed using blood serum from patients, in the same way that the test will be performed in a clinical diagnostic setting. The statistically significant results achieved in comparing samples from non-diseased age-matched controls to those from mild, moderate, and severe Parkinson's disease demonstrated the diagnostic capability of NuroPro PD at this prestigious meeting," said Power 3's President and Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Ira L. Goldknopf.

"The agreement with Transgenomic, the progress of the clinical validation achieved to date and the introduction at the AAN meeting are steps toward our goal to be the first to market with clinically relevant diagnostic tests for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases," commented Helen R. Park, CEO of Power3.

Craig Tuttle, President and CEO of Transgenomic, added: "We are excited to see this first key clinical validation milestone for the NuroPro PD assay in Parkins
