    摘要: The present invention is directed to the identification of predictive genotypes, e.g., predictive single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and markers that can be used to determine whether a patient having a CC-Chemokine Receptor 2 (CCR-2) mediated disorders is likely to be responsive or non-responsive to a therapeutic regimen. For example, the present invention is directed, in part, to the use of certain individual and/or combinations of SNPs, wherein the expression of particular alleles at particular SNPs, or combinations of alleles at loci in linkage disequilibrium with a particular SNP, correlate with responsiveness or non-responsiveness to a therapeutic regimen. The present invention is also directed to the use of certain individual and/or combinations of predictive markers which correlate with responsiveness or non-responsiveness to a therapeutic regimen. Thus, by examining allelic expression at particular SNPs, combinations of alleles at loci in linkage disequilibrium with a particular SNP, or expression levels of individual predictive markers and/or predictive markers comprising a marker set, it is possible to determine whether a patient having a CCR-2 mediated disorder will likely respond or not respond to a therapeutic regimen.
