圖說 基龍米克斯營運長徐玉君(中)與優秀的婦幼健康經營團隊,搶攻全台產前基因檢測市場。

基龍米克斯營運長徐玉君表示,就目前最夯的非侵入性胎兒染色體檢測,基龍米克斯2016年業績較2015年呈倍數成長,今年第1Q業績也較去年同期翻倍,預估全年可達目標。基龍米克斯的NIPT檢測是由彰化基督教醫院陳明醫師團隊開發,擁有台灣唯一具有演算法自主專利智財權的NIPT檢測,能帶領基龍米克斯走出台灣與世界其他品牌的NIPT檢測競爭。更是台灣唯一的NIPT檢測CAP認證實驗室,代表世界級的品質標準,搭配基龍米克斯現有海外通路,前景可期。


 台灣每年至少有一萬二千例試管嬰兒,人工受孕過程中,藉由胚胎植入前染色體篩檢(PGS)技術挑選健康胚胎植入,以提高受孕機率,該項檢測潛力市場預估超過六億台幣。基龍米克斯第2Q開始擴大產品線,加碼與彰基佈局婦幼健康市場,引進PGS基因檢測,更將陸續增加嬰幼兒營養代謝檢測、兒童潛能基因檢測、遺傳性乳癌及卵巢癌風險評估基因檢測,可望持續增加業績。


 基龍米克斯是全台最大商業基因體服務公司,獨霸科學研究基因定序市場多年。兩年前,成立醫學基因檢測事業部,在產前基因檢測業績倍數成長下,加碼佈局婦幼健康,攻佔龐大的醫學基因檢測市場。

Genomics Leads the Market in Liquid Biopsy Genetic Testing for Lung Adenocarcinoma Targeted Drugs

The number of new cancer cases has surpassed 100,000, as recently reported by the Ministry of Health and Welfare's Health Promotion Administration, which disclosed the latest ranking of the top ten cancers among Taiwanese people. Colorectal cancer and lung cancer once again claimed the first and second positions. Genomics (Genomics: 4195-TW) has long been committed to developing cancer genetic testing. After collaborating with pharmaceutical companies on second-generation targeted drugs for lung adenocarcinoma and colorectal cancer, and having provided genetic testing services, the company actively invested in research and development in 2016. It has since emerged as the market leader and the sole provider of liquid biopsy T790M gene testing services for third-generation targeted drugs for lung adenocarcinoma. Dr. Yu Cho Yuan, Chairman of Genomics, pointed out that most lung adenocarcinoma patients begin to develop drug resistance after 9 to 13 months of second-generation targeted drug treatment, often accompanied by the T790M gene mutation. Cancer cells remain dormant in the body, and free DNA clues can be found in the blood to detect whether drug resistance mutations have occurred. The newly developed liquid biopsy technology leverages this feature, utilizing simple blood sampling and genetic testing to identify suitable targeted drugs and provide patients with precise medical advice. Through blood extraction from patients, T790M gene testing can confirm whether mutations have occurred. When combined with third-generation targeted drugs, this approach can effectively extend patient survival. In 2016, the number of tests exceeded 500, and with the launch of third-generation targeted drugs, the number of tests is expected to steadily increase.

Genomics organizes User Conference that focuses on High-throughput Sequencing and Business Opportunity brought by Big Data, expanding on the application of LTDs certified items, and accelerates toward the high-end NGS market

Genomics entered the Laboratory Developed Tests (LDTs) field over two years ago with internally developed testing technologies, obtaining registration for two items with the TFDA. We continuously add new services to our LDTs certification services, covering areas such as cancer genetics, genetic metabolism, and rare disease gene testing. Leveraging the company's strong foundation in NGS and the excellent relationships established with major medical centers and hospitals nationwide, we aim to seize the laboratory demand and advanced testing opportunities brought by NGS inclusion in national health insurance.
