TRAUMA AUTOIMMUNE INDICATOR (TAI) SCREENING 

OUR RESEARCH

Screen Shot 2022-12-16 at 11.08.39 AM.png

Our team has developed the first known RNA biomarker approach to screen for trauma-induced diseases, such as PTSD. 

 

PRELIMINARY RESULTS 

An analysis of the immune response from 49 U.S. military veterans shows that there is a clear immune discriminator between those exposed to trauma with positive symptoms of PTS, those exposed to trauma with no symptoms, and those with neither trauma nor symptoms. At the heart of the innovative approach is the analysis of RNA transcriptomes mapped directly back to proteins integral to the immune system.

Most compelling, were four RNA sequences unique to 90% of those with PTS symptoms

WHY THIS TEST?

Empower early intervention

Start the conversation with your physician or mental healthcare provider

Ensure best possible outcomes for your long term health

​

WHO IT HELPS

The results of the test can help to inform individuals of a trauma-induced autoimmune disorder before it creates long-term damage, and guide healthcare providers in making a diagnosis and determining the best course of treatment for the patient, potentially improving their long term health outcomes.
