Atopy and asthma are diseases that are known to be caused by environmental factors and many genes. Since multiple genes and many environmental factors contribute to disease development, one needs large groups of asthma patients and unaffected controls in order to identify which genes and environmental factors are important.

XDx, Inc. has received market clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for AlloMap® Molecular Expression Testing. The AlloMap Test is a noninvasive, multi-gene molecular diagnostics blood test used to aid in the identification of heart transplant recipients with stable allograft function who have a low probability of moderate/severe acute cellular rejection at the time of testing, in conjunction with standard clinical assessment. XDx is the first U.S.

In a study that underscores the important role that individual genetic profiles will play in the development of new therapies for disease, a multi-institutional research team - led by Kang Zhang, MD, PhD professor of ophthalmology and human genetics at Shiley Eye Center at the university of California, San Diego, School of Medicine - has made two important discoveries related to age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of blindness in adults over the age of 60.
