摘要:
The present invention provides a method for treating a human subject afflicted with multiple sclerosis or a single clinical attack consistent with multiple sclerosis with a pharmaceutical composition comprising glatiramer acetate and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, comprising the steps of: (i) determining a genotype of the subject at a location corresponding to the location of one or more single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) selected from the group consisting of: Group 1, (ii) identifying the subject as a predicted responder to glatiramer acetate if the genotype of the subject contains one or more A alleles at the location of Group 2, one or more C alleles at the location of Group 3, one or more G alleles at the location of Group 4, or one or more T alleles at the location of kgp18432055, kgp279772, kgp3991733 or kgp7242489; and (iii) administering the pharmaceutical composition comprising glatiramer acetate and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to the subject only if the subject is identified as a predicted responder to glatiramer acetate.
