FIMICS PANEL
a long non-coding RNA panel to better characterize cardiac disorders and toxicities
FIMICS is the result of years of research on cardiac lncRNAs in cooperation with several research institutes of excellence and the collaboration with Celemics, a Seoul based biotech company specialized in Next-Generation Sequencing solutions. LncRNAs are a highly tissue specific family of RNA opening new horizons for diagnostic and therapeutic applications in the cardiovascular field. Identification of cardiac enriched lncRNAs were performed using deep sequencing human cardiac biopsies of failing and control hearts. Expression levels were compared to 12 others organs to select cardiac enriched lncRNAs.
A total of 3233 lncRNAs including 1036 novel lncRNAs never previously described were identified and included into FiMICS panel. Detection and precise quantification of these cardiac enriched lncRNAs in peripheral blood using FiMICS provide first-class results to the final users and opens new ways for therapeutics and precision medicine tools for diverse primary and secondary cardiac diseases, cardiac toxicities and drug development.
