PRLog - Jan. 6, 2014 - BASEL CITY, Switzerland -- International Medical Ventures is pleased to announce it has signed an agreement with Clinigene International Ltd of Bangalore India. The basic agreement serves to explore the potential advancement of International Medical Ventures' objective for the development of an In-Home BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 genetic marker test kit. The predictive diagnostics market has been forecast to reach a total of $810.5 million by the end of 2018, driven by a number of key factors, including next generation genetic sequencing, aging population, and increasing incidence and prevalence of chronic degenerative diseases.
