SAN DIEGO, July 21, 2014
SAN DIEGO, July 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Sequenom, Inc. (NASDAQ: SQNM), a life sciences company providing innovative genetic analysis solutions, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Sequenom Laboratories, will soon launch the VisibiliT™ laboratory-developed test in international markets. The VisibiliT test utilizes maternal age, fetal fraction and the relative amount of chromosomal material for chromosomes 21 and 18 to generate a highly accurate, personalized risk score. The VisibiliT test is for pregnant women who want information about common fetal trisomies (Down syndrome and Edwards syndrome), have a single gestation pregnancy, and whose pregnancies are considered to be at average risk. The test can also report fetal gender. With the VisibiliT test, Sequenom Laboratories fulfills its goal to expand its noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) menu with the development of a low-cost test by year-end to facilitate international access.
"This is an important development because it makes an excellent test much more affordable and accessible to a wider spectrum of pregnant women throughout the world," said Professor Kypros Nicolaides, M.D., director of the Fetal Medicine Foundation and the Harris Birthright Research Centre for Fetal Medicine at King's College Hospital in London.
Performance of the VisibiliT test was determined by a clinical evaluation study of over 1,000 samples, and demonstrated a greater than 99% sensitivity and specificity for trisomies 21 and 18. A poster entitled, 'Application of risk-score analysis to low-coverage whole genome sequencing data for the noninvasive detection of trisomy 21 and trisomy 18,' will be presented at the 18th International Conference on Prenatal Diagnosis and Therapy (ISPD) taking place July 20-23 in Brisbane, Australia.
Building a global portfolio of laboratory-developed tests for noninvasive prenatal assessment
Sequenom Laboratories is the first test service provider to offer two distinct NIPT options—MaterniT21™ PLUS and VisibiliT—enabling greater testing access and flexibility for providers and patients.
"The launch of the VisibiliT test is an important achievement for the company, as we are expanding our noninvasive prenatal testing menu to provide additional choices to better serve the broader prenatal testing community," said William Welch, Chief Executive Officer of Sequenom, Inc. "We are committed to innovating and building upon our market-leading NIPT services and solutions as we continue to provide valuable information to health care professionals and their patients around the world."
The VisibiliT test will be available to international markets beginning in August. Sequenom Laboratories will continue ongoing discussions with payors in the U.S. and is prepared to offer the test in the U.S. as insurance coverage develops.
The technology at the forefront of prenatal testing
Sequenom Laboratories first pioneered the use of NIPT in 2011, with the introduction of the MaterniT21 PLUS laboratory-developed test that's benefited more than 250,000 pregnant women worldwide. Because of this advance, thousands of pregnant women have avoided potentially unnecessary invasive procedures while still gaining critical genetic information about the health of their pregnancies. The VisibiliT test maintains the same Sequenom Laboratories' commitment to quality and accuracy that's featured in the MaterniT21 PLUS test.
Using a maternal blood sample, the VisibiliT and MaterniT21 PLUS tests analyze chromosomal material in cell-free fetal DNA of pregnant women. The VisibiliT test reports a risk score for common fetal chromosomal abnormalities, specifically trisomies 21 and 18, as well as fetal gender. The MaterniT21 PLUS test, by contrast, reports both common and rare fetal chromosomal abnormalities—from trisomies 21, 18 and 13 to fetal sex aneuploidies, trisomies 16, 22, fetal gender and select microdeletions.
Both tests were developed, validated and are performed exclusively by Sequenom Laboratories. Test results are provided to the ordering health care provider.

SAN DIEGO, July 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Sequenom, Inc. (NASDAQ: SQNM), a life sciences company providing innovative genetic analysis solutions, today announced its wholly owned subsidiary, Sequenom Laboratories, will soon begin reporting on the presence of three additional clinically relevant subchromosomal microdeletions as part of the Enhanced Sequencing Series (ESS) for its MaterniT21™ PLUS laboratory-developed test. The microdeletions added include 11q deletion (Jacobsen syndrome), 8q deletion (Langer-Giedion syndrome), and 4p deletion (Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome) and will be reported as an additional finding when a positive result is detected. New study data on the Enhanced Sequencing Series was presented at the 18th International Conference on Prenatal Diagnosis and Therapy (ISPD) in Brisbane Australia.

"The MaterniT21 PLUS test has helped change how we treat our prenatal patients, and its ability to screen for several microdeletions exemplifies the growth and potential of this technology," said Jeff Chapa, MD, Head of the Section of Maternal-Fetal Medicine in Cleveland Clinic Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. "With the Enhanced Sequencing Series, I can provide my patients with this clinically relevant information as early as 10 weeks into a pregnancy."
These microdeletions are associated with various clinical conditions that can result in physical and developmental issues. Jacobsen syndrome, which is caused by a deletion on the long arm of chromosome 11, is characterized by growth restriction, developmental delay, distinctive facial features, and a bleeding disorder called Paris-Trousseau syndrome. Langer-Giedion syndrome, caused by a deletion on the long arm of chromosome 8, is characterized by bone abnormalities and may be associated with developmental delays. Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome is caused by a deletion on the short arm of chromosome 4 and is characterized by distinctive craniofacial anomalies, growth restriction, developmental delay, hearing loss and seizures.
This expansion complements the MaterniT21 PLUS test original Enhanced Sequencing Series of clinically relevant microdeletions which Sequenom Laboratories began reporting in October 2013. Included were 22q11.2 deletion (DiGeorge syndrome), 5p minus (Cri-du-chat syndrome), 15q deletion (Prader-Willi/Angelman syndromes), 1p36 deletion syndrome, as well as two additional trisomies, (trisomy 16 and 22).
"Leveraging our advanced, whole genome technology, we are able to offer more comprehensive prenatal information to health care providers and their patients," said Dirk van den Boom, PhD, Chief Scientific and Strategy Officer at Sequenom, Inc. "We have received very positive response to the Enhanced Sequencing Series. This set of microdeletions added to our MaterniT21 PLUS test is the next extension of the Enhanced Sequencing Series and continues our path towards the vision of a noninvasive fetal karyotype."
Sequenom Laboratories first pioneered the use of noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) in 2011. With this expansion, the MaterniT21 PLUS test is the first-of-its-kind NIPT to provide these comprehensive results from a maternal blood draw. The MaterniT21 PLUS test was developed, validated and is performed exclusively by Sequenom Laboratories.
