PanGenomic Health Subsidiary Introduces Point-of-Care Vitamin D Test for the
Dental Implant Industry

 

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 6 December 2023 - PanGenomic Health Inc.
("PanGenomic Health" or the "Company") (CSE: NARA) (AQSE: NARA), is pleased to
announce that its subsidiary, MUJN Diagnostics Inc. ("MUJN Diagnostics"), has
introduced its point-of-care Vitamin D test for the dental implant industry.

 

"Vitamin D can play a significant role in the success of a dental implant
procedure", said Dr. William Liang, Diplomate of the American Board of Oral
Implantology, and owner of the Smile Dental Implant Centre in Surrey, BC. "The
MUJN biomarker platform can help our patients avoid potential dental implant
failures that may be caused by the negative effect of Vitamin D deficiencies
on osseointegration."  The Smile Dental Implant Centre is the first dental
clinic customer of MUJN Diagnostics.

 

"We are very excited to expand our MUJN biomarker assessment platform beyond
our initial focus of tracking precision medicine treatments for mental health
conditions", said Vincent Lum, CEO of MUJN Diagnostics and Co-Founder of
PanGenomic Health. "We believe there will be increasing demand from health
practitioners in many fields for rapid point-of-care diagnostic tests of
biomarkers to facilitate precision health. We believe the dental implant
industry is a particularly promising market for our diagnostics platform, as
there are over 500,000 dental implants placed annually in the U.S.1"

 

Current clinical research on Vitamin D has found that:

 
* Vitamin D deficiency has been linked with an increase of up to 300% in the
failure rate for dental implants. 2
* Insufficient intake of vitamin D occurs in more than 25% of the US
population, and in over 1 billion people globally. 3
 

The Directors of PanGenomic take responsibility for this announcement.
