In particular, Dr. Boles was the Medical Director of<br \/>\nCourtagen from 2012 to 2017. Courtagen pioneered the use of massive DNA sequencing in<br \/>\nmultifactorial, neurodevelopmental, and functional conditions, demonstrating to many that this<br \/>\namazing new technology can improve medical care for many. However, insurance companies did<br \/>\nnot see it that way, and poor insurance reimbursement led to the closure of the DNA laboratory<br \/>\nin the summer of 2017. Insurance denial have led to the closure of many genetic laboratories in<br \/>\nthis new and cutthroat industry. For a few months following Courtagen, Dr. Boles was an<br \/>\nAdvisor for Lineagen, an arrangement that ended in the winter of 2018.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Science and technology have advanced substantially in the last year, and the power of genetic<br \/>\ntesting now far exceeds that which was then state-of-the-art during Courtagen\u2019s time. At present,<br \/>\nDr. Boles does not work for, and is not paid by, any laboratory. However, he works with several<br \/>\nlaboratories in order to ensure the optimal testing for each patient that he follows or advises on.<br \/>\nThe process is complex, and for more information, see the question and answer found in the <a href=\"http:\/\/molecularmitomd.com\/?page_id=398\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FAQ Section.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At the current time, Dr. Boles orders testing from Variantyx.
