MADRID and WALTHAM, Mass., May 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Interleukin Genetics, Inc. (OTCQB: ILIU) and Labec Pharma SA today announced that USP Hospitales now offers the innovative Heart Health Genetic Test, developed by Interleukin Genetics, at San Jose, USP Hospitales, the flagship hospital in Madrid, and will soon make it available throughout their hospital network. The test identifies single nucleotide variations in two Interleukin-1 (IL-1) genes that lead to a greater predisposition of cardiovascular events, based on an excessive inflammatory response. Labec will distribute the test through an exclusive license in Spain and Portugal under the CardioHealth™ brand.  

"We are pleased that one of the most renowned hospital systems in Spain will make the Heart Health Genetic Test available to its patients," said Lewis H. Bender, chief executive officer, Interleukin Genetics. "Heart disease is largely preventable and the earlier one recognizes their risks, especially their genetic risk, the sooner improved monitoring and prevention can be established."

"Labec Pharma has been working to provide information to leading cardiovascular disease experts in Spain and Portugal about the benefits of the CardioHealth Test," said Javier de Echevarria, chief executive officer at Labec Pharma.
