摘要:
The present invention provides a method of diagnosing or predicting susceptibility to a clinical subtype of Crohn's disease characterized by fibrostenosing disease by determining the presence or absence in an individual of a fibrostenosis-predisposing allele linked to a NOD2/CARD15 locus, where the presence of the fibrostenosis-predisposing allele is diagnostic of or predictive of susceptibility to the clinical subtype of Crohn's disease characterized by fibrostenosing disease. In a method of the invention, the clinical subtype of Crohn's disease can be, for example, characterized by fibrostenosing disease independent of small bowel involvement. The invention also provides a method of optimizing therapy in an individual by determining the presence or absence in the individual of a fibrostenosis-predisposing allele linked to a NOD2/CARD15 locus, diagnosing individuals in which the fibrostenosis-predisposing allele is present as having a fibrostenosing subtype of Crohn's disease, and treating the individual having a fibrostenosing subtype of Crohn's disease based on the diagnosis.
摘要:
This invention provides methods of diagnosing or predicting susceptibility to Inflammatory Bowel Disease by determining the presence or absence of genetic variants in the TL1A gene. In one embodiment, a method of the invention is practiced by determining the presence or absence of TL1A production following Fc-gamma-R activation. In another embodiment, the invention provides methods of treatment of inflammatory bowel disease by inhibition of TL1A.
摘要:
This invention provides methods of diagnosing or predicting susceptibility to inflammatory bowel disease by determining the presence or absence of genetic variants. In one embodiment, a the invention is practiced by determining the presence or absence of NOD2 variants in an individual where the presence of NOD2 variants are indicative of susceptibility to Crohn's Disease in the individual. In another embodiment, the invention further determines the presence or absence of TLR8 variants where the presence of TLR8 variants are inflammatory bowel disease in female individuals. In another embodiment, the invention further determines the presence or absence of TR2 variant P631H where the presence of TLR2 variant P631H is indicative of susceptibility to Crohn's Disease.
摘要:
Methods of predicting the development of medically refractory ulcerative colitis (MR-UC) in a patient by determining the presence or absence of one or more risk variants, where the presence of one or more risk variants is indicative of a severe and/or aggressive form of ulcerative colitis are disclosed.
摘要:
Disclosed are methods of diagnosing Inflammatory Bowel Disease by determining the presence or absence of genetic variants at SMAD3 and/or JAK2 loci. Provided is a method of diagnosing a Crohn's Disease subtype in an individual by determining the presence or absence of a risk variant at the SMAD3 and/or JAK2 loci.
摘要:
Diagnosis of Crohn's Disease by determining the presence or absence of variants at the CNR2 (cannabinoid) genetic locus and serological markers is disclosed Methods of diagnosing a Crohn's Disease sub-type by determining the presence or absence of one or more risk variants at the CNR2 5 locus and the presence or absence of ASCA, OmpC, 12 and/or anti-Cbir1 antibodies are included
摘要:
Disclosed is a method for determining haplotypes useful for large-scale genetic analysis, within a genomic reference sequence of interest, for a human subpopulation. The method can applied to statistically evaluating the genotypes of subjects for any statistically significant association with a phenotype of interest, such as insulin resistance or coronary artery disease. Thus, also disclosed are a method of detecting a genetic predisposition in a Mexican-American human subject for developing insulin resistance and methods of detecting a lower than normal risk in a Mexican-American human subject for developing insulin resistance or coronary artery disease.
摘要:
Methods of diagnosing susceptibility to metabolic insulin resistance and other related conditions are disclosed. The method provides means of diagnosing susceptibility to insulin resistance in Hispanic Americans by determining the presence of a risk haplotype at the LPL locus, the LPIN1 locus, and/or elevated levels of gamma-glutamyl transferase.
摘要:
The invention provides methods of treating and prognosing atherosclerosis and lipid response to statin treatment by determining the presence or absence of haplotypes at the lipoprotein lipase locus. In one embodiment, the invention is practiced by evaluating the prognosis of vascular grafts in an individual undergoing statin treatment by determining the presence or absence of haplotypes at the lipoprotein locus.
摘要:
Disclosed is a method for determining haplotypes useful for large-scale genetic analysis, within a genomic reference sequence of interest, for a human subpopulation. The method can applied to statistically evaluating the genotypes of subjects for any statistically significant association with a phenotype of interest, such as insulin resistance or coronary artery disease. Thus, also disclosed are a method of detecting a genetic predisposition in a human subject for certain biological conditions, which may be related to coronary artery disease.
