摘要:
A method of assessing the quality of a biological sample while maintaining the viability of the biological sample for intended use analysis is described herein. The method includes analyzing a biological sample obtained from a subject for an intended use, assessing the quality of the biological sample using one or more biomarkers of sample quality, and simultaneously performing intended use analysis on the same sample. Assessing the quality of the sample can include assessing compliance with sample handling protocols and assessing subject compliance.
摘要:
Methods using a combination of metabolomics and computer technology to determine sequence variants with potential negative or detrimental effects and enable the classification of a variant with an unknown or uncertain clinical significance from VUS status to benign, pathogenic or advantageous are described. For example, methods of using metabolomics to expedite personalized medicine based on genomic sequence analysis are described. Using metabolic profiles to determine (or aid in determining) the significance of genetic variants and enable the identification of diagnostic variants (those variants having a detrimental health affect) for use in personalized medicine is described. Further, using metabolic profiles to determine the presence of advantageous variants that may have a positive effect on patient health is also described.
摘要:
A method of elucidating the identity of an unknown metabolite comprising measuring amounts of known and unknown metabolites in subjects; associating the unknown metabolite with a specific gene from a gene association study; determining a protein associated with the specific gene and analyzing information for the protein; associating the unknown metabolite with concentrations and/or ratios of other metabolites in subjects; obtaining chemical structural data for the unknown metabolite; and using the information obtained to elucidate the identity of the unknown metabolite.
摘要:
Methods and systems are described herein for small molecule biochemical profiling of an individual subject for diagnosis of a disease or disorder, facilitating diagnosis of a disease or disorder, and/or identifying an increased risk of developing a disease or disorder in the individual subject. Aberrant levels of small molecules present in a sample from an individual subject are identified and diagnostic information relevant to the individual subject is obtained based on the identified aberrant levels. The obtained diagnostic information includes one or more of an identification of at least one biochemical pathway associated with the identified subset of the small molecules having aberrant levels, an identification at least one disease or disorder associated with the identified subset of the small molecules having aberrant levels, and an identification of at least one recommended follow up test associated with the identified subset of the small molecules having aberrant levels.
