Inc. John Hooper, President and CEO of Genizon BioSciences noted:

"These discoveries in our second landmark study, following the
unprecedented discoveries in our first study in Crohn's Disease, confirm
our belief that an LD-GWS using Quebec Founder Population DNA samples is
one of the most powerful approaches to disease-gene/target discovery for
common diseases.
