Xenomics' diagnostic technology is based on the noninvasive sampling of DNA material that passes transrenally, or through the kidneys, and is excreted in urine. Xenomics scientists were the first to detect Tr-DNA and to determine that it can be used to detect and monitor a broad range of diseases and prenatal genetic conditions. Its initial development programs include prenatal diagnostic methods to test for Down syndrome Down syndrome, congenital disorder characterized by mild to severe mental retardation, slow physical development, and characteristic physical features. Down syndrome affects about 1 in every 730 live births and occurs in all populations equally. and other fetal genetic abnormalities could be performed on maternal urine samples. The Company's mission is to develop safe and highly accurate medical testing products based upon its Tr-DNA technology platform. The Company is developing cost-effective, medically advantageous alternatives to DNA-based and other diagnostic methods now in use. Most existing medical DNA diagnostic tests use blood or tissue samples from invasive tissue biopsies, which are generally more difficult, riskier and costlier to obtain.

Xenomics is a molecular diagnostic company that focuses on the development of DNA-based tests using Transrenal DNA (Tr-DNA). Xenomics' patented technology uses safe and simple urine collection and can be applied to a broad range of applications, including prenatal testing Prenatal testing Testing for a disease such as a genetic condition in an unborn baby. Mentioned in: Retinoblastoma, Von Willebrand Disease , tumor detection and monitoring, tissue transplantation, infectious disease Infectious disease A pathological condition spread among biological species. Infectious diseases, although varied in their effects, are always associated with viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, multicellular parasites and aberrant proteins known as prions. detection, genetic testing Genetic Testing Definition A genetic test examines the genetic information contained inside a person's cells, called DNA, to determine if that person has or will develop a certain disease or could pass a disease to his or her offspring. for forensic identity determination, drug development, and research to counter bioterrorism. Scientists from Xenomics were the first to report that fragments of DNA from normal cell death cross the kidney barrier and can be detected in urine. The Company believes that its technology will open significant new markets in the molecular diagnostics field. Xenomics has three issued U.S. patents covering different applications of the technology for molecular diagnostics and genetic testing and a corresponding allowed European patent for the Company's prenatal testing applications. The Company has organized a joint venture to conduct research on infectious disease detection with the National Institute for Infectious Diseases (Istituto Nazionale per le Malattie Infettive "Lazarus Spallanzani") in Rome, in the form of a new R&D company called SpaXen Italia, S.R.L.
