OMAHA, Neb.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Transgenomic, Inc. (OTCBB: TBIO) today announced the publication of a new study by researchers at Vanderbilt University that further validates the role of both genes found in the Company’s PGxPredict®:CLOPIDOGREL (Plavix®) Panel, a comprehensive test to predict a patient’s response to clopidogrel (Plavix®). The study confirms the results of two previous studies demonstrating that outcomes in patients receiving clopidogrel were better for patients without genetic variations in CYP2C19, a gene whose effect is described in the drug’s label, and ABCB1, a gene that is unique to Transgenomic’s panel and is covered by issued and pending patents owned by Transgenomic. The results were published by Delaney, et al., in the February issue of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics.
