摘要:
The present invention relates to the technical field of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) management, and more precisely to the prognosis of HCC aggressiveness and associated therapeutic decisions. The invention provides a new prognosis method of HCC aggressiveness, based on determination in vitro and analysis of an expression profile comprising genes TAF9, RAMP3, HN1, KRT19, and RAN. The invention also provides kits for the prognosis of HCC aggressiveness, and methods of treatment of HCC in a subject based on a preliminary prognosis of said subject HCC aggressiveness.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a diagnostic method of determining whether a subject, preferably an obese subject, is at risk of developing type 2 diabetes or diabetic complications, which method comprises detecting the presence of an alteration in the EEFSEC gene locus in a biological sample of said subject.
摘要:
The present invention discloses the identification of a human autism susceptibility gene, which can be used for the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of autism and related disorders, as well as for the screening of therapeutically active drugs. The invention more specifically discloses that the MARK1 gene on chromosome 1 and certain alleles thereof are related to susceptibility to autism and represent novel targets for therapeutic intervention. The present invention relates to particular mutations in the MARKI gene and expression products, as well as to diagnostic tools and kits based on these mutations. The invention can be used in the diagnosis of predisposition to, detection, prevention and/or treatment of Asperger syndrome, pervasive developmental disorder, mental retardation, anxiety, depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorders, speech delay, epilepsy, metabolic disorder, immune disorder, bipolar disease and other psychiatric and neurological diseases including schizophrenia.
摘要:
The present invention relates to genetic mapping of complex quantitative and qualitative traits. This invention more particularly relates to methods to identify identical DNA fragments from two different DNA sources. The method allows the amplification of the DNAs, their, labelling, and the separation of perfectly matched DNAs from imperfectly matched DNAs or from DNAs formed through hybridisation from the same source (e.g., homohybrids). The invention can be used to identify genes or gene mutations, which are relevant to pathological conditions or particular traits.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of detecting the presence of or predisposition to autism, or to an autism spectrum disorder, the method comprising detecting the presence of an alteration in the gene loci PITX1, ATP2B2, SLC25A12 and EN2 in a sample from said subject. More particularly, the presence of specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within these genes correlates to a substantially increased risk to develop autism.
摘要:
The present invention discloses the identification of a human autism susceptibility gene, which can be used for the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of autism and related disorders, as well as for the screening of therapeutically active drugs. The invention more specifically discloses that the PRKCB 1 gene on chromosome 16 and certain alleles thereof are related to susceptibility to autism and represent novel targets for therapeutic intervention. The present invention relates to particular mutations in the PRKCBI gene and expression products, as well as to diagnostic tools and kits based on these mutations. The invention can be used in the diagnosis of predisposition to, detection, prevention and/or treatment of Asperger syndrome, pervasive developmental disorder, childhood disintegrative disorder, mental retardation, anxiety, depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorders, speech delay or language impairment, epilepsy, metabolic disorder, immune disorder, bipolar disease and other psychiatric and neurological diseases.
摘要:
The present invention discloses the identification of a human autism susceptibility gene, which can be used for the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of autism and related disorders, as well as for the screening of therapeutically active drugs. The invention more specifically discloses that the PITX1 gene on chromosome 5 and certain alleles thereof are related to susceptibility to autism and represent novel targets for therapeutic intervention. The present invention relates to particular mutations in the PITX1 gene and expression products, as well as to diagnostic tools and kits based on these mutations. The invention can be used in the diagnosis of pervasive developmental disorder, mental retardation, anxiety, depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorders, speech delay, epilepsy, metabolic disorder, immune disorder, bipolar disease and other psychiatric and neurological diseases.
摘要:
The present invention discloses the identification of a human obesity susceptibility gene, which can be used for the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of obesity and related disorders, as well as for the screening of therapeutically active drugs. The invention more specifically discloses that the MAP3K11 gene on chromosome 11 and certain alleles thereof are related to susceptibility to obesity and represent novel targets for therapeutic intervention. The present invention relates to particular mutations in the MAP3K11 gene and expression products, as well as to diagnostic tools and kits based on these mutations. The invention can be used in the diagnosis of predisposition to, detection, prevention and/or treatment of coronary heart disease and metabolic disorders, including hypoalphalipoproteinemia, familial combined hyperlipidemia, insulin resistant syndrome X or multiple metabolic disorder, coronary artery disease, diabetes and dyslipidemic hypertension.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for predicting whether a patient with a cancer is likely to respond to an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor, which method comprises determining the expression level of at least one target gene of hsa-miR-31-3p (SEQ ID NO:1) miRNA in a sample of said patient, wherein said target gene of hsa-miR-31-3p is selected from DBNDD2 and EPB41 L4B. The invention also relates to kits for measuring the expression of DBNDD2 and/or EPB41 L4B and at least one other parameter positively or negatively correlated to response to EGFR inhibitors. The invention also relates to therapeutic uses of an EGFR inhibitor in a patient predicted to respond to said EGFR inhibitor.
