Formed in 1994, Genesis developed the first quantitative test kit for H pylori antibodies in serum.
In 2003 Genesis, in cooperation with bioMerieux, developed the Citrullinated Protein Antibody (CPA) test. Based on citrullinated filaggrin, the new test provides a very specific diagnostic marker for rheumatoid arthritis.
