SALT LAKE CITY, UT -- (MARKET WIRE) -- March 05, 2007 -- Myriad Genetics, Inc. (NASDAQ: MYGN) (www.myriad.com) announced today that it presented additional results of its completed Phase 2 follow-on study of Flurizan™ in patients with mild Alzheimer’s disease at the annual meeting of the American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry (AAGP), held March 1-4, 2007 in New Orleans. The data indicate that Flurizan may be capable, not only of slowing the decline of Alzheimer’s disease, but of halting the disease in its tracks. In this study, many patients with Alzheimer’s disease got no worse over two full years, and in some cases, patients treated with Flurizan appear to have improved.
