SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Myriad Genetics, Inc., (NASDAQ: MYGN), a leader in molecular diagnostic testing and precision medicine, announced it will present new data in eight abstracts at the 2025 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium^® (SABCS).

The company will share the latest advances in the MyRisk^® Hereditary Cancer Test that support guideline-driven treatment decisions. Additionally, the company is presenting data on its Precise^® Molecular Residual Disease (MRD) Test, an ultrasensitive, second-generation pan-tumor MRD test that is especially impactful for low-tumor-shedding cancers, such as breast cancer. It has high sensitivity and specificity at low tumor fraction.¹

“I am thrilled that we are sharing some very strong data at SABCS from multiple breast-cancer studies that used Precise MRD,” said Dale Muzzey, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer, Myriad Genetics. “Each study showcases the benefit of ultrasensitive and quantitative ctDNA testing, as we observed noteworthy correspondence with clinical outcomes of interest. I’m also pleased that, in addition to MRD studies, we are sharing data about germline testing, somatic testing, and polygenic risk assessment, all areas of excellence for Myriad that underscore our commitment to serving the cancer care continuum.”

Myriad will sponsor a session at the Product Theater, where Gregory Vidal, MD, PhD, associate professor at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, and Sara Mokhtary-Myers, MS, CGC, certified genetic counselor and Genetics Program Coordinator at Texas Oncology, will discuss the evolving role of tumor genomic and germline testing in breast cancer care. The session will be held on Wednesday, Dec. 10, 2:30–3:30 p.m.

Myriad Genetics at Booth 1414

In addition to data presentations, Myriad will welcome attendees to its booth (#1414) during exhibition hours. Among the Myriad products highlighted in the company’s 2025 SABCS exhibit are:

• Precise Molecular Residual Disease (MRD) Test is a tumor-informed assay that uses whole genome sequencing (WGS) to achieve ultra-sensitivity. This unique assay enables the custom selection of up to 1,000 targeted variants for deep analysis. It has impressive limits of detection and sensitivity.¹ The test can be used to monitor circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) levels throughout a patient’s clinical cancer care, starting immediately after diagnosis and continuing through treatment and surveillance. This test is currently available for research use only (RUO) and not available for clinical use.
• MyRisk Hereditary Cancer Test is a leading hereditary cancer test that has been expanded to include genes referenced in NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines^®)² and guidelines from American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO). These genes are associated with cancer risk and may have clear clinical actionability, supporting the goal that each addition to the panel provides meaningful insights for patient care. The updated MyRisk panel now includes 63 carefully selected genes across more than 11 cancer types, reflecting Myriad’s commitment to meeting evolving clinical needs and delivering clinical value at every step of the cancer care continuum.
• MyRisk Test with RiskScore^® combines genetics, clinical factors (Tyrer-Cuzick), and polygenic risk to uncover insights that gene testing alone may not provide, helping offer more information to support patient decisions in breast cancer risk assessment and management.
• MyChoice^® CDx Test is the only FDA-approved homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) test specifically mentioned in ASCO guidelines for selecting patients with ovarian cancer who may benefit from PARP inhibitors.³ By determining comprehensive HRD status, the MyChoice CDx Test helps expand access to targeted therapy in both early and late-line settings.
