Rhythm Biosciences Ltd. launched a new genetype colorectal cancer risk assessment clinical test that incorporates clinical and lifestyle risk factors alongside its established 140-SNP polygenic risk score to identify people at elevated risk of colorectal cancer. The test supports more targeted screening and complements Melbourne-based Rhythm’s Colostat blood-based CRC detection test, which debuted in Australia in December 2025.
Nearly 80% of people in Australia and the U.S. that used Genetic Technologies Ltd.’s Genetype multi-risk assessment test showed an elevated risk for at least one disease covered by the test.
PERTH, Australia – Genetic Technologies Ltd. signed a co-exclusive licensing deal with U.S.-based central lab Infinity Biologix LLC (IBX) for the production, sale and distribution of Genetic Technology’s COVID-19 serious disease risk test in the U.S. Branded as Genetype, the genotyping test combines a patient’s clinical profile with their genetic information to compute a patient’s risk of developing severe disease from COVID-19.
