摘要:
The present invention is directed to detection and measurement of gene transcripts in blood. Specifically provided is a RT-PCR analysis performed on a drop of blood for detecting, diagnosing and monitoring diseases using tissue-specific primers. The present invention also describes methods by which delineation of the sequence and/or quantitation of the expression levels of disease-associated genes allows for an immediate and accurate diagnostic/prognostic test for disease or to assess the effect of a particular treatment regimen.
摘要:
The invention provides for nucleic acid sequences that are expressed in chondrocytes from any of the following developmental and disease stages: fetal, normal, mild osteoarthritic, moderate osteoarthritic, marked and osteoarthritic. The invention also relates to arrays and compositions comprising any combination of these nucleic acid sequences. The invention also provides for methods of using the arrays of the invention to diagnose osteoarthritis. The invention also provides for methods of identifying therapeutic agents that alter the level of expression of the nucleic acids of the invention or alter the anabolic level of a chondrocyte.

摘要:
The application provides a method of determining a severity of heart failure in a human test subject, by determining a level of RNA encoded by one or more heart failure marker genes in blood of the test subject compared to controls. The application also provides a method of determining survival outcome and allows the ranking of test subjects based on the level of RNA encoded by one or more survival associated genes.
