(CBMX) Miscarriage Analysis Test Now Offered by ReproSource, Inc.
CombiMatrix Services Available Through ReproSource’s National Laboratory Network
IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 22, 2015 — CombiMatrix Corporation (Nasdaq:CBMX), a molecular diagnostics company specializing in DNA-based testing services for pre- and postnatal developmental disorders, today announced that ReproSource, Inc., a nationally-recognized laboratory dedicated to fertility specialists and the patients they serve, is now offering CombiMatrix’s chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) testing for miscarriage analysis. ReproSource, based just outside of Boston, Massachusetts, is an international clinical reference laboratory providing specialized diagnostic services for unexplained infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss and premature ovarian failure.
“We have found CombiMatrix’s quality service to their physicians and patients to be consistent with our approach,” said Charles Jenkins, Vice President of ReproSource. “We look forward to offering our nationwide network of fertility specialists and fertility centers the opportunity to use CombiMatrix’s test offerings to help their patients.”
Mark McDonough, Chief Executive Officer of CombiMatrix, said, “ReproSource has an outstanding reputation in the fertility testing industry, and we view this partnership as a noteworthy validation of the quality of our tests and the ancillary counselling services we provide in this important new market for us. As we expand our focus to the care of fertility patients, we are pleased to offer our high touch, high quality service to ReproSource and their client base while concurrently benefitting from ReproSource’s expertise and customer reach with reproductive endocrinologists.”
Miscarriage analysis testing, also called Products of Conception testing, is a subset of the overall prenatal testing market. It allows OB/GYN physicians, reproductive endocrinologists, fertility doctors and clinicians to better determine if there is a genetic cause for a miscarriage or other related event.
“Historically, unclear results from genetic testing of products of conception has been frequent, which makes diagnosing the cause of miscarriage difficult and frustrating for both clinicians and patients,” said Benjamin Leader, M.D., Ph.D., the Director of Clinical Research at ReproSource. “The type of genetic testing provided by CombiMatrix significantly increases the frequency with which we can provide reliable answers to our physicians and their patients.”
