SAN DIEGO, April 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Juno Diagnostics™ (JunoDx™), a company focused on bringing vital health information to patients by improving access, affordability, and transparency, today announced that results of its novel methodology for non-invasive prenatal screening (NIPS) tests were published[AC1] by The American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology (AJOG).

The Company's novel NIPS approach offers a convenient and affordable avenue to access prenatal care for providers and patients, including those located remotely or within medical deserts. According to the researchers, the Juno Hazel™ tests provide a promising solution to ensure all parents-to-be and families have an equal opportunity to access high-quality prenatal information on their own time and terms.

"Publication of these results in The American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology is an exciting achievement that further validates our mission to disrupt the current NIPS paradigm," said Dirk van den Boom, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of JunoDx™. "This data clearly demonstrates that capillary blood samples - like those used for our Juno Hazel™ and Hazel™ Plus screens - are a promising option for patients and providers, which we believe will ultimately promote convenient and affordable access to non-invasive prenatal screening tests."

Dr. Mathias Ehrich, Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of JunoDx™, noted, "I want to acknowledge and thank all the participants in this study and our trusted collaborators for their assistance in the data analysis, including Dr. Christopher K. Ellison, Dr. Allison Chia-Yang, and Mr. Don C. Hutchison. These are important findings that will significantly advance the field of NIPS testing and broaden access for more parents around the globe."

About the Juno Hazel™ and Hazel™ Plus Screens

Juno Hazel™ Plus also screens for common aneuploidies and fetal sex, including additional analysis for sex chromosome aneuploidies.
