BUSINESS SUMMARY 
Response Genetics, Inc., a life sciences company, together with its subsidiaries, engages in the research and development of pharmacogenomic diagnostic tests of clinical trial specimens to the pharmaceutical industry for cancer in the United States, Europe, and Japan. The company’s Response DX test measures the RNA expression of ERCCI and RRMI by RT-PCR from a patient's tumor tissue; PCR analysis of DNA from the patient's sample is used to determine EGFR amplification and KRAS mutational status; and ERCCI test is a test for the probability of response to platin-based therapies and the analysis of RRMI tests for the probability of response to gemcitabine-based therapies. Its EFGR Amplitication test assesses the probability of benefit from EGFR-directed therapy; KRAS gene mutation test identifies tumors that have low probability of response to EGFR-directed therapy; and TS gene expression test measures the probability of response to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-based chemotherapy.
