Banner Health and the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) formed a partnership to find a quicker and more accurate way of diagnosing concussions.
Specifically, Banner and TGen will obtain bio-samples from as many as 100 volunteer patients in an effort to find a biomarker — a genetic signature — that can definitively indicate when a patient has suffered a concussion, and when they have recovered.
Currently, there is no test or imaging system that can objectively indicate when a patient has sustained a concussion.
