Natera, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTRA) Securities Fraud Class Action:

In the past, Defendants have repeatedly claimed that its screening test for kidney transplant failure ("Prospera") was more accurate than competing tests and that its non-invasive prenatal test ("Panorama") was reliable.

According to the complaint, Defendants misrepresented or failed to disclose that: (1) Panorama was not reliable and resulted in high rates of false positives; (2) Prospera did not have superior precision compared to competing tests; (3) as a result of Defendants' false and misleading claims about Natera's technology, the company was exposed to substantial legal and regulatory risks; and, (4) Natera relied upon deceptive sales and billing practices to drive its revenue growth.

On Jan. 1, 2022, The New York Times published a report about the accuracy of Panorama and competing tests and found that positive results for genetic disorders such as DiGeorge and Prader-Willi syndromes when using Natera's test are incorrect more than 80% of the time.

Next, on Jan. 14, 2022 the Campaign for Accountability non-profit watchdog group filed a complaint requesting the SEC to investigate whether Natera knowingly overstated the accuracy of Panorama.

Then, on Mar. 9, 2022, analyst Hindenburg Research published a scathing report entitled "Natera: Pioneers In Deceptive Medical Billing." Hindenburg concluded, based in part on more than 2 dozen interviews with former Natera employees, patients and industry experts that "Natera's revenue growth has been fueled by deceptive sales and billing practices aimed at doctors, insurance companies and expectant mothers."

Finally, on Mar. 14, 2022, a federal jury found that Natera intentionally and willfully misled the public by utilizing false advertisements to market Prospera as being more effective than CareDx's competing AlloSure test.

"We're focused on investors' losses and proving Natera intentionally misled investors about the reliability and superiority of its tests," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
