    摘要: This invention relates to methodologies that detect global changes in the methylation of human genomic DNA as well as changes in methylation in specific regions of the human genome. The methodologies have utility in the diagnosis, prognosis and monitoring of therapeutic treatment for any human disease. Further, the invention relates to methodologies that can detect global changes in the methylation of human genomic DNA that is a consequence of diet and/or dietary supplements. The invention also relates to identifying novel DNA methylation biomarkers that are associated with human disease.

    摘要: The present invention provides reagents, compounds, compositions, and methods relating to novel interactions of the extracellular domain of LRP5, HBM (a variant of LRP5), and/or LRP6 with Dkk, including Dkk-1. The various nucleic acids, polypeptides, antibodies, assay methods, diagnostic methods, and methods of treatment of the present invention are related to and impact on Dkk, LRP5, LRP6, HBM, and Wnt signaling. Dkk, LRP5, LRP6, HBM, and Wnt are implicated in bone and lipid cellular signaling. Thus, the present invention provides reagents and methods for modulating lipid levels and/or bone mass and is useful in the treatment and diagnosis of abnormal lipid levels and bone mass disorders, such as osteoporosis.
