XDx is a novel molecular diagnostics company whose mission is to improve patient care by developing molecular diagnostics that translate an individual’s immune status into clinically actionable information. The Company has developed an accurate blood-based diagnostic test to detect rejection in heart transplant patients. The test measures the level of gene expression for the set of genes most closely involved in the immune response of heart transplant tissue rejection. The test will partially replace biopsies, which are more costly, painful, invasive/risky, subjective, non-quantitative and slower to detect organ rejection. XDx is developing similar tests for other organ transplants such as lung transplants, as well as tests for autoimmune disorders. In addition to DBL Partners, investors include Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers, Texas Pacific Group, New Leaf Venture Partners, Burrill and Company, Integral Capital Partners, Intel Capital Partners and Duff Ackerman and Goodrich.
