About Rosetta Genomics
Rosetta Genomics is a leading molecular diagnostics company developing
and commercializing molecular diagnostic products based on its
proprietary microRNAs. Rosetta Genomics is working to develop early
detection cancer screening products, including a colon cancer screening
test. Rosetta performs its commercial molecular diagnostics tests at
Rosetta Genomics Laboratories in Philadelphia.
About MicroRNAs
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are recently discovered, naturally occurring, small
RNAs that act as master regulators and have the potential to form the
basis for a new class of diagnostics and therapeutics. Since many
diseases are caused by the abnormal activity of proteins, the ability to
selectively regulate protein activity through microRNAs could provide
the means to treat a wide range of human diseases. In addition,
microRNAs have been shown to have different expression in various
pathological conditions. As a result, these differences may provide for
a novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategy for many diseases.
Forward-Looking Statements
Various statements in this release concerning Rosetta’s future
expectations, plans and prospects, including without limitation,
statements relating to the development of early detection cancer
screening products, including Rosetta’s ability to successfully develop
and commercialize a non-invasive colon cancer screening test by late
2009 or early 2010, if at all, and the sufficiency of Rosetta’s cash
resources, constitute forward-looking statements for the purposes of the
safe harbor provisions under The Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated
by these forward-looking statements as a result of various important
factors, including those risks more fully discussed under “Key
Information - Risk Factors” in Rosetta’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for
the year ended December 31, 2007 on file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. In addition, any forward-looking statements
represent Rosetta’s views only as of today and should not be relied upon
as representing its views as of any subsequent date. Rosetta does not
assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements unless
required by law. Rosetta cannot guarantee that the performance suggested
by data we released during the development process of a non-invasive
colon cancer screening test will be identical to the performance of any
test that we may successfully commercialize.
