Description

Natera, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTRA), a leader in transforming care through genetic and cell-free DNA (cfDNA) testing, today announced the launch of Prospera with Quantification, the only cfDNA test for kidney rejection that provides three values — the quantity of donor-derived cfDNA (dd-cfDNA), fraction of dd-cfDNA and total cfDNA on every report. Combining these three metrics has been shown to improve sensitivity when evaluating transplant rejection, compared to using dd-cfDNA fraction alone. Currently, other commercially available cfDNA tests that assess transplant rejection only report the fraction of dd-cfDNA.
