(Oslo, 18 February 2022) Genetic Analysis AS (“GA” or “the Company”) hereby publishes the year-end report for the period 1 October – December 31, 2021. The year-end report is available as an attached file to this release and on the Company’s website. Below is a summary of the report.

Genetic Analysis CEO Ronny Hermansen comments:
“The year of 2021 has passed, and we can look back on an eventful year filled with milestones like an oversubscribed IPO, successful listing at Spotlight Stock Market, the signing of IMD as a new high-volume lab in Europe, and the receival of a research grant of NOK 16 million to develop a new IBD test. GA has taken important steps during 2021 and we look forward to an exciting journey in 2022 as a listed company.

2021 has also been a very active year within the research community and more and more evidence is suggesting that peoples’ gut microbiome has a key role in good health and better disease management. We strongly believe that microbiome profiling will be a game-changer in the future for modern medicine.”
