Myriad Genetics Stock Price, News & Analysis

Myriad Genetics (NASDAQ: MYGN) and Lumea Inc. have announced a collaboration to integrate Myriad's molecular diagnostic tests - Prolaris Prostate Cancer Test and MyRisk Hereditary Cancer Test - into Lumea's digital pathology platform, BxLink.

The integration aims to streamline test ordering and delivery processes, enabling healthcare providers to electronically manage Prolaris and MyRisk tests through BxLink. This automation is expected to reduce errors and deliver results in under 10 days after specimen collection.

The Prolaris test, which is included in NCCN Guidelines, assesses prostate cancer aggressiveness for treatment decisions, while MyRisk evaluates 48 genes associated with hereditary cancer risk. The collaboration focuses on delivering precision-based insights efficiently to support informed decision-making by patients and providers.

Myriad Genetics (NASDAQ: MYGN) announced groundbreaking research results for its Prequel® Prenatal Screen with AMPLIFY™ technology, which enables reliable prenatal cell-free DNA screening as early as eight weeks' gestation, compared to the typical 9-10 weeks. The study, awarded SMFM's 'Dru Carlson Memorial Award for Best Research in Ultrasound and Genetics,' demonstrated that Prequel with AMPLIFY achieved an average fetal fraction of 12.5% with a no-call rate below 0.5% between 8-10 weeks of gestation.

This advancement allows earlier risk assessment of chromosomal disorders, enabling patients to pursue diagnostic testing like chorionic villus sampling at 10 weeks instead of waiting for amniocentesis at 15 weeks. The findings will be presented at the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine Conference by Dr. Lorraine Dugoff from the University of Pennsylvania.

Myriad Genetics (NASDAQ: MYGN) has launched 'Know More Sooner,' a new educational website focused on reproductive and prenatal genetic testing. The initiative aims to provide comprehensive information about genetic screening options and address common misconceptions.

The website was developed in response to survey findings showing that while most women desire prenatal screening after understanding its benefits, 40% reported not being offered noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT). Myriad offers three key tests: SneakPeek® Gender Test (>99% accuracy from six weeks), Foresight® Carrier Screen for inherited conditions, and Prequel® Prenatal Screen for chromosomal conditions (from eight weeks).

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends carrier and cfDNA screening for all pregnant patients, regardless of age, ancestry, or risk factors.
