Myriad Genetics Partners with Institut für Hämopathologie Hamburg and Centre Georges-Francois LeClerc to Expand Access to Genetic Testing in Europe

• Collaboration brings MyChoice CDx Plus Testing to Hamburg, Germany and Dijon, France
• Latest expansions represent Myriad’s commitment to growing international lab partner program

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- , (NASDAQ: MYGN), a leader in genetic testing and precision medicine, today announced two partnerships with the Institut für Hämopathologie Hamburg (HPH) in Hamburg, Germany and the Centre Georges-Francois LeClerc (CGFL) in Dijon, France to expand access to MyChoice^® CDx Plus testing. HPH and CGFL join Myriad’s network of partner laboratories to help support equitable patient access to genetic testing in key European markets.

MyChoice CDx Plus is a CE-IVD-marked companion diagnostic test that determines Homologous Recombination Deficiency (HRD) status in women with ovarian cancer. Determining HRD status can help healthcare providers better identify patients who are eligible for PARP inhibitor therapy.

In Hamburg, Myriad will license and provide MyChoice CDx Plus technology to HPH, which will perform testing in its lab, producing a report based on Myriad’s proprietary Genomic Instability Score (GIS) and homologous recombination repair genes, including BRCA1 and BRCA2. In France, Myriad will license its MyChoice CDx Plus technology to CGFL to perform the test in its lab for the generation of Myriad’s proprietary GIS alongside their tumor BRCA test offering.

“Patients and their providers need a timely set of comprehensive, data-driven answers to help them manage disease at the very start,” said Nicole Lambert, Chief Operating Officer, Myriad Genetics. “Through our collaboration with progressive laboratories like HPH and CGFL, we’re able to bring MyChoice CDx Plus testing to global markets and provide critical genetic information that can help healthcare providers guide more personalized and targeted ovarian cancer treatment decisions for patients.”

In 2021, Myriad established its first laboratory partnership with the Institute of Pathology at the Universitätsklinikum Marburg in Germany. Myriad plans to continue growing its laboratory partnership program into more countries, and is currently validating a fourth lab in Copenhagen, Denmark.
