SNPs are very much out of favor. Decent approaches to pharmacogenomics, in the context of MYGN, are not.

VGNX.......... Yahoo lists 12/31/00 book at $4.38, cash at $4.29..........

Went public in July at $14. I got all the shares I wanted today at 3 11/16.

Press release listing.......

There are several interesting projects, partnered and unpartnered. One that interests me....... some cancers are characterized by the absence of a hunk of chromosome. Some of those hunks will be characterized my an allele (heterozygosity) for a gene critical to cell survival under given conditions. The company plans to develop allele-specific drugs. Normal cells will be protected by the activity of the alternative allelic product........

I have no concept of whether or not the approach is actually workable, and it's somewhat out of my league. The claim language looks great re. targets, but a distinct absence of drugs that will actually do the job is apparent.

Revenues were $1.2M and burn was $2.6M for Q4 2000.

Presents tomorrow at BioCentury's Future Leaders in the Biotech Industry Conference.

I'd be interested in comments or thoughts. I purchased shares, but that doesn't mean that I've done enough homework.
