The present invention relates to methods for diagnosing or predicting responsiveness to treatment, such as Alefacept, by determining the presence of a nucleotide at one or more polymorphic sites within a haplotype marker. The present invention identifies multiple haplotypes that are associated with response to Alefacept. The haplotype markers identified by the present invention and methods of the invention can be particularly useful for diagnosing or predicting susceptibility to skin diseases, such as Psoriasis.

摘要:
The present invention provides methods and materials to identify genetic abnormalities that predispose an individual to ion-channel diseases. The invention provides four polymorphic sites in the KCNQ1 gene that cause reduced conductance of the associated potassium ion channel current and a variant form of the KCNE1 gene which causes decreased conductance though the channel. The variant form of KCNE1 also acts synergistically with variants of KCNQ1 to cause further decreased conductance than either variant alone. The invention further provides polymorphisms in ion channel genes showing a higher frequency in populations afflicted with ion channel diseases or within control groups. The detection of these polymorphic sites that produce the potassium ion channel protein variants in either heterozygous or homozygous form in a subject indicates that the subject has, or is susceptible to, ion channel diseases such as congenital or acquired cardiac arrhythmia, LQT syndrome, SIDS, epilepsy, or hearing loss.
