SPECIAL BROADCAST REPORT ON GENOVATIONS™

Genovations™, the new product line of genomic profiles from Great Smokies Diagnostic Laboratory, was recently featured on a segment of Healthy Solutions Medical Spotlight hosted by Mariette Hartley.

The special segment, "The Science of Genomics," explored recent advances in genomic screening to improve health care, and aired on CNBC & The Health Network. The "Healthy Solutions" viewer site allows visitors to watch the program in its entirety, on-demand, and in full-motion video.

DNA-based testing is revolutionizing the world of health care, providing diagnostic tools that will allow doctors to develop a wide range of more effective treatments. Genovations™ is a specialized set of predictive genomic tests that uncovers potential problems with a patient's heart, bones, liver and immune system, allowing physicians to treat each patient according to his or her most important personal health risks. The Healthy Solutions Medical Spotlight explores how these latest breakthroughs in genomic screening are supporting a new model of truly individualized health care.

"Emerging genomics research reveals that virtually all of the most pervasive, disabling, and deadly diseases of our time, including adult-onset diabetes, osteoporosis, heart disease and cancer, are believed to be heavily influenced by genetic makeup." said Marti Shiner, Co-executive Producer of the series. "By identifying certain genetic indicators, doctors receive early warning about a patient's potential health problems. That allows them to modify behavior, diet and lifestyle today, to avoid a potentially devastating disease tomorrow."
