8:17 am ET June 5, 2017 (PR Newswire) Print

A new analysis of genetic testing results among prostate cancer patients shows a substantial portion of patients with clinically significant genetic variants will be missed under current testing guidelines. These data add to the evidence supporting the re-evaluation of germline genetic testing guidelines for prostate cancer patients. The study was presented by a team including researchers from Invitae Corporation (NYSE: NVTA) and the Tulane University School of Medicine at the American Society for Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in Chicago, where it was designated a "Best of ASCO" presentation.
