I would pay the 150 bucks!

There are two fields here as I see it; diagnostics which would test the individual to see what the "spelling" is and the second use of pharmacogenomics helps make drug testing for FDA approval a success.

The collapse of CLPA (assuming no fraud) because of their recent unblinding, might have been prevented if the company understood who was benefiting and who was not - IOW which patients had the right "spelling" for their drug. Cost here is not much of a concern obviously as the companies market cap spirals down. This I think is where GLGC hopes to capitalize.

Back to diagnostics or the reading of an individuals "spelling". This is being done now, for instance in the testing of HER2. The treatment prescribed will depend on the outcome of this test. Mike, the testing to find out the patients HER2 status could be a COST SAVINGS for health care givers as only the patients who benefit from expensive treatment will be given the treatment.

Two different businesses really using the same science and each with huge potential! MHO of course.
