SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., May 15, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CareDx, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDNA), a leading precision medicine company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of clinically differentiated, high-value healthcare solutions for transplant patients and caregivers, announced that it had received the CE mark approval for AlloSeq Tx 17, making it broadly available to transplant patients, laboratories and clinicians around the world.
AlloSeq Tx 17 is the best in class solution for matching transplant donor organs to recipients, utilizing next generation Hybrid Capture technology for HLA testing. CareDx launched this novel technology during the American Society for Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics (ASHI) and BANFF Foundation for Allograft Pathology's Joint meeting September 2019.

Generation of reliable data and ability to extend the typing to additional non-classical HLA loci will provide better care for patients," said Milena Ivanova-Shivarova, Lab Manager, Alexandrovska University Hospital.
"CareDx is committed to providing best-in-class solutions for transplant patients.
