Vancouver, BC – June 13, 2017. At the annual European congress of rheumatology meeting, The European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR), taking place in Madrid, Spain on June 14-17, investigators present the continued understanding of 14-3-3η’s role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease biology.
“With the growing use of the 14-3-3η JOINTstat™ blood test, we continue to focus on researching the biological basis for the clinical utility that the biomarker imparts”, says Dr. Anthony Marotta, Augurex Chief Scientific Officer. While the 14-3-3η protein plays a critical role in RA by upregulating many harmful factors that perpetuate disease, new aspects relating to its function in joint remodelling have been studied and will be presented at EULAR.

Data have been previously presented describing 14-3-3η expression pre-RA as a predictor of arthritis development, its complementarity to RF and anti-CCP for diagnosis and its dynamic nature over time supporting the clinical usefulness of serial 14-3-3η testing to inform treat-to-target strategies. Additional data will be presented at EULAR underscoring its role as a joint damage marker and predictor of flare and radiographic progression in patients who achieve clinical remission.
Under the registered trade name JOINTstat™, the 14-3-3η test is available in Canada through LifeLabs, is distributed in Japan by MBL (Medical & Biological Laboratories), available for clinical use in Europe, Australia and in the US as an LDT through Labcorp (Laboratory Corporation of America) and RDL Reference Laboratory.
