About GENinCode:
GENinCode Plc is a UK based company
specialising in genetic risk assessment of cardiovascular disease
and ovarian cancer. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of
death and disability worldwide.
GENinCode operates business units in
the UK, Europe through GENinCode S.L.U, and in the United States
through GENinCode U.S. Inc.
GENinCode predictive technology
provides patients and physicians with globally leading preventive
care and treatment strategies. GENinCode invitro-diagnostic
molecular tests combine clinical algorithms and AI bioinformatics
to advance patient risk assessment to prevent the onset of
cardiovascular disease and ovarian cancer.
About Cardiovascular Disease (CVD):
CVD is the leading cause of death
globally, taking an estimated 17.9 million lives each year.
CVD is a group of disorders of the heart and blood vessels and
include coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, rheumatic
heart disease and other conditions. More than four out of five CVD
deaths are due to heart attacks and strokes, and one third of these
deaths occur prematurely in people under 70 years of
age.
CVD causes a quarter of all deaths
in the UK and is the largest cause of premature mortality in
deprived areas with the NHS 10
Year Plan identifying CVD as the single biggest area where
the NHS can save lives over the next 10 years. CVD is largely
preventable, through lifestyle changes and a combination of public
health and NHS action on smoking and tobacco addiction, obesity,
tackling alcohol misuse and food reformulation.
Early detection and treatment of CVD
can help patients live longer, healthier lives. Too many people are
still living with undetected, high-risk conditions such as high
blood pressure, raised cholesterol, and atrial fibrillation (AF).
The NHS 10 Year Plan is working towards people knowing and managing
risks around their 'ABC' (AF, Blood pressure and
Cholesterol).
About Ovarian Cancer (OC) and the ROCA test:
OC occurs when abnormal cells in the
ovaries or fallopian tubes grow and multiply out of control.
Ovaries are part of the female reproductive system and are
responsible for making eggs during a female's reproductive
years.
OC affects women and people assigned
female at birth. It accounts for 1% of all new cancer cases and the
lifetime risk of developing OC is approximately 1 in 78. OC is
slightly more common in white populations than in people who are
Black, Hispanic or Asian, while people who inherit a BRCA gene mutation are consider high risk of developing
the disease. BRCA gene mutations occur in 0.3% of the population
but is more common in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish or
Greenlander descent. Preventative surgery (removal of both ovaries
and fallopian tubes) is recommended for BRCA carriers.
Diagnosis of OC typically occurs
late stage due to the presentation of vague symptoms that are often
confused with other more common conditions. As a result, treatment
is intense and long-term survival is poor. Despite years of
research, experts have struggled to develop an effective OC
surveillance test that can detect the disease earlier.
The Risk of Ovarian Cancer Algorithm
(ROCA) Test is a globally leading OC surveillance test, proven to
detect OC cancer before symptoms present and at an earlier stage.
The test is intended for women over 35 with a mutation in the BRCA1
or BRCA2 gene and who wish to defer preventative surgery. The ROCA
test has recently received National Institute for Care and Health
Excellence (NICE) guideline recommendation for OC
surveillance.
