The following is an extract from information presented in the latest RNS:
Oxford, UK. GENinCode Plc (AIM: GENI), the polygenics company focused on the prevention of cardiovascular disease and ovarian cancer, announces today the publication by the American Journal of Preventive Cardiology of a study on ‘Polygenic Risk and Incident Heart Disease in a large multiethnic cohort’.1
The Kaiser Permanente Division of Research study investigated more than 63,000 adult individuals with no history of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) who are part of the Kaiser Permanente Northern California Genetic Epidemiology Resource in Adult Health and Aging (GERA) multi-ethnic cohort. The GERA cohort followed the membership over an average of 14 years, using CARDIO inCode-Score® to assess the polygenic risk of CHD and future incidence of risk of CHD.
I think that it is the fact that this research was undertaken to include an extensive American based multi- ethnic cohort sample which could be the information that the FDA require as previous studies sampled cohorts of predominantly European ethnic diversity. They seem to have put the stamp of approval on CIC so lets hope we hear very soon.
Have a great weekend and see what Monday brings. GLA and DYOR Swissy.
