MDxHealth is a multinational healthcare company that provides actionable epigenetic information to personalize the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. The increased adoption of our ConfirmMDx® for Prostate Cancer testing solution within the U.S. urology community has established MDxHealth as a market leader in the important and growing field of cancer epigenetics.
Epigenetics is an exciting area of molecular biology that identifies key changes in gene activity that do not involve changes to the underlying genetic code. Epigenetic "markers" tell genes to switch on or off, to speak loudly or whisper. It is through these epigenetic markers that environmental factors like diet, stress and prenatal nutrition can make an imprint on genes (DNA methylation) that are passed from one generation to the next. Certain of these DNA methylation imprints can turn a health cell into a cancer cell.
