MYGN Securities Class Action:
According to the Complaint, Defendants misled investors about Myriad Genetics’ GeneSight®, a DNA genotyping test to aid psychotropic drug selection for depressed patients.
The Complaint alleges Defendants repeatedly promoted the GeneSight® product, while concealing that GeneSight® lacked evidence or information sufficient to support tests in its current form, including the validity of its purported benefits. On August 13, 2019, Defendants disclosed that the FDA requested changes to GeneSight® and the Company had been in ongoing discussions with the FDA about the request. Defendants revealed that the FDA had specifically questioned the company as to whether the validity of GeneSight's purported benefits had been established.
This news drove the price of Myriad shares down $19.05, or down almost 43%, to close at $25.50 on August 14, 2019, erasing $1.4 billion in market capitalization.
“We’re focused on investors’ losses and whether Myriad misrepresented GeneSight®’s benefits,” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.
