Publication number: 20230235398Abstract: A method for determining a subject's risk for developing chronic kidney disease (CKD) combined with determining a subject's pharmacogenomic (PGX) profile is described. The method involves obtaining a sample of genetic material from the subject. The genetic material is amplified using primers specific for the genes underlying CKD and PGX. The DNA sequence of the amplified genetic material is determined and compared with the human reference genome sequence. One or more DNA sequence alterations in the amplified genetic material not present in the human reference genome sequence determines the PGX profile of the subject and may indicate that the subject is at risk for developing CKD.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2022Publication date: July 27, 2023Applicant: Machaon Diagnostics, Inc.Inventors: James S. Kain, Ph.D., Michael P. Ero, MT, CLS, MBA, James Anderson-Furgeson, Jihyun Moon

Publication number: 20220333202Abstract: A method for determining a subject's risk for developing hemophilia A, hemophilia B, or von Willebrand disease (VWD) is described. The method involves obtaining a sample of genetic material from the subject. The genetic material is amplifed using primers specific for the genes underlying hemophilia A, hemophilia B and VWD. The DNA sequence of the amplified genetic material is determined and compared with a DNA sequence from a normal control subject. One or more DNA sequence alterations in the amplified genetic material not present in the DNA sequence from the normal control subject indicates that the subject is at risk for developing hemophilia A, hemophilia B, or VWD.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2022Publication date: October 20, 2022Applicant: Machaon Diagnostics, Inc.Inventors: James S. Kain, Michael P. Ero

Publication number: 20220042118Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of diagnosing infection with SARS-CoV-2. The method involves first obtaining a sample from a patient, followed by the use of a mobile testing laboratory to test the sample for SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid. The sample is tested by extracting the RNA from the patient sample, amplifying the nucleic acid using reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP), and measuring the results. Results from the RT-LAMP are obtained within 60 minutes after sample collection, where a positive result is indication of infection with SARS-CoV-2.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2021Publication date: February 10, 2022Applicant: Machaon Diagnostics, Inc.Inventors: James S. Kain, Michael P. Ero, Frances Tran

Patent number: 10155983Abstract: A method for identifying a patient's risk for developing complement-mediated thrombic microangiopathy is described. A sample of genetic material is obtained from a patient. The genetic material is amplified using primers specific for complement-mediated thrombic microangiopathy. After amplification, the genetic sequence of the amplicon is determined. The genetic sequence of the amplicon is compared to a reference sequence, and variations are identified between the sample amplicon and the reference sequence. A variation between the sample amplicon and the reference sequence is indicative of a risk for the patient for developing complement-mediated thrombic microangiopathy.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2015Date of Patent: December 18, 2018Assignee: Machaon Diagnostics, Inc.Inventors: Michael P. Ero, James S. Kain
