Interleukin Genetics Expands DNA Analysis Laboratory Operations to Meet Demand for Risk Assessment Tests.WALTHAM, Mass. -- Interleukin interleukin Any of a class of naturally occurring proteins important in regulation of lymphocyte function. Several known types are recognized as crucial constituents of the body's immune system (see immunity). Genetics (AMEX AMEX See: American Stock Exchange : ILI) today announced the completion of the expansion and upgrade of its Laboratory Operations. This will allow the company to meet the demand for its DNA DNA: see nucleic acid. DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid One of two types of nucleic acid (the other is RNA); a complex organic compound found in all living cells and many viruses. It is the chemical substance of genes. risk assessment tests. Interleukin has added equipment and staff to enable the company to improve turnaround time (1) In batch processing, the time it takes to receive finished reports after submission of documents or files for processing. In an online environment, turnaround time is the same as response time. for test results and to increase efficiencies and overall capacity for future growth. "Interleukin Genetics has added the throughput capacity to meet the demand for our new DNA based cardiovascular and nutritional wellness risk assessment tests." commented Ken Kornman, DDS (1) (Digital Data Storage) See DAT.

Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Interleukin Genetics. "We are pleased that the early sales of our current DNA risk assessment tests exceeded expectations. These laboratory enhancements significantly improve test turnaround time to meet the needs of our customers," continued Dr. Kornman. About Interleukin Interleukin Genetics is a biotechnology company focused on developing and commercializing personalized health products. The company uses functional genomics to help in the development of risk assessment tests, pharmacogenetic tests, nutritional and therapeutic products based on the genetic variations in people. Interleukin Genetics has commercialized genetic tests for periodontal disease Periodontal Disease Definition Periodontal diseases are a group of diseases that affect the tissues that support and anchor the teeth. Left untreated, periodontal disease results in the destruction of the gums, alveolar bone (the part of the jaws where risk assessment, cardiovascular risk assessment, and general nutrition assessment, and its current development programs focus on osteoporosis, and weight management. Interleukin expects that these programs will also lead to products that will personalize the selection of nutritional and therapeutic products and enable the managed care industry to improve patient care and better allocate resources.
