"I believe the exceptional physician demand for myRisk validates our strategy to transition to cancer panel testing. Unfortunately this high demand caused laboratory capacity constraints in the first quarter, which resulted in a short-term negative impact to both our revenues and profitability," said Peter D. Meldrum, president and chief executive officer of Myriad. "We were pleased with the draft reimbursement coverage decision for Prolaris from Medicare as well as the positive recommendation from the European Medicines Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) for olaparib. We believe products such as Prolaris and Tumor BRACAnalysis CDx™ will further diversify our business and position us for strong revenue growth in the future."
