Landmark Research Study is Launched to Assess Impact of Personal Genetic Testing
Date:10/9/2008

x. "Navigenics harnesses the power of the Affymetrix SNP Array 6.0, which looks at more genetic markers than any other available product. Participants in this study will be able to understand more about their health and susceptibility to disease than ever before."

Researchers will use the genetic variations found in the study as a tool to continue to study genes linked to many diseases. The study affords researchers the opportunity to better understand ways to prevent, diagnose and treat disease.

"Personalized medicine stands to change the way people approach their health and wellness, as well as open up new genetic research opportunities," said Peter Neupert, corporate vice president, Health Solutions Group, Microsoft, Inc. "This collaboration is a significant step forward in empowering people to proactively address their specific individual health needs, as well as give clinical researchers access to a broader pool of genetic data to develop new disease treatments."
