Case study from NorDiag published in August

Bergen, 31 July 2007; NorDiag said in a stock exchange release February 21 that the Company had an case report accepted for publication in a leading European medical journal presenting the usefulness of GenefecTM. The Company has today been informed that the report will be published in the august issue of European Journal of Gastroentology & Hepatology and is today published at www.eurojgh.com.

The test can identify early stages of colorectal cancer long before alternative methods, and the `case report` is reporting on such an incident where the patient was recovered after simple surgery.

Abstract of the article can be found at www.eurojgh.com

The report demonstrates how useful regularly testing with a genetic marker as GenefecTM can be for members of risk groups of colorectal cancer. One million people are affected yearly of bowel cancer, and despite improvements in diagnostics and treatment, not more than half of the patients survive. Survival rates increases with early detection, and costs of treatment are reduced. NorDiag`s Genefec test identifies a substantial part of the early stages to colorectal cancer.
