Evaluate the probability of disease progression in a Crohn’s disease patient by providing a personal serogenetic profile.

PROMETHEUS® Crohn’s Prognostic combines serologic and genetic markers in an innovative blood test that quantifies a patient’s individual probability of developing disease complications over time. Serologic markers include ASCA IgA, ASCA IgG and priority markers anti-CBir1, anti-I2, anti-OMPC, and DNAse sensitive pANCA. Genetic markers include NOD2 variants (SNPS 8, 12, 13). The objective information from Crohn’s Prognostic may allow physicians to stratify patients, assist in optimizing management strategies and assist with risk/benefit healthcare provider/patient discussions.
