MYGN Myriad Genetics Inc

Myriad Genetics, Inc. (Nasdaq:MYGN) today announced that results from 11 clinical studies with its molecular diagnostic tests will be featured at the 2014 American Society of Clinical Oncology annual meeting to be held May 30-June 3, 2014 in Chicago, Ill. Abstracts of the Company's presentations are available at: abstracts.asco.org.

The molecular diagnostic tests being highlighted at ASCO address four key areas of focus for Myriad including hereditary cancer, melanoma, companion diagnostics and prostate cancer. There will be presentations on six new key studies on the Myriad myRisk™ Hereditary Cancer test, including two podium presentations; two presentations on the Myriad myPath™ Melanoma test, including the first pivotal clinical validation study; and the presentation of new clinical data on the HRD companion diagnostic in patients with metastatic triple negative breast cancer.

"Myriad is committed to advancing all aspects of cancer care – risk assessment, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment selection – and has a robust portfolio and pipeline of molecular and companion diagnostics," said Mark Capone, president of Myriad Genetics Laboratories. "We believe much more can be done through diagnostics to improve patient care and lower health care costs. Through our strong internal and external research programs, Myriad is leading the discovery, development and commercialization of the next generation of diagnostic tests and services."
