Interpace Diagnostics Announces New Data Further Validating the Power of the Combination of its Molecular Diagnostic Thyroid Tests ThyGenX® and ThyraMIR(TM)
PR Newswire - Wed Oct 21, 8:01AM CDT
PDI, Inc. (NASDAQ: PDII) subsidiary, Interpace Diagnostics, announced new data presented at the 15th International Thyroid Congress and 85th Annual Meeting of the American Thyroid Association (ITC/ATA) this week in Lake Buena Vista, Florida (www.ITC2015.thyroid.org) demonstrating that combination testing by ThyGenX®, oncogene panel, and ThyraMIR(TM), microRNA classifier, has been analytically validated on fixed nodule specimens including Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded (FFPE) samples, cytology slides and Thin Prep slides, in addition to the current molecular analysis of fine needle aspirations (FNAs).
