摘要:
The invention provides molecular markers that are associated with the progression of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), and methods and computer systems for monitoring the progression of CML in a patient based on measurements of these molecular markers. The present invention also provides CML target genes, and methods and compositions for treating CML patients by modulating the expression or activity of these CML target genes and/or their encoded proteins. The invention also provides genes that are associated with resistance to imatinib mesylate (Gleevec™) treatment in CML patients, and methods and compositions for determining the responsiveness of a CML patient to imatinib mesylate treatment based on measurements of these genes and/or their encoded proteins. The invention also provides methods and compositions for enhancing the effect of Gleevec™ by modulating the expression or activity of these genes and/or their encoded proteins.
摘要:
The present invention relates to sets of genetic markers whose expression is correlated with prognosis of breast cancer in individuals having breast cancer. Specifically, the invention provides sets of markers whose expression patterns can be used to differentiate individuals having a good prognosis, e.g., no reoccurrence or metastasis within five years of initial diagnosis, and individuals having a poor prognosis, e.g., reoccurrence or metastasis within five years of initial diagnosis. The invention relates to methods of prognosis using these markers. The invention also relates to microarrays containing probes to these markers, and to kits containing ready-to-use microarrays and computer software for data analysis using the prognostic and statistical methods disclosed herein.

The present invention relates to genetic markers whose expression is correlated with progression of CML. Specifically, the invention provides sets of markers whose expression patterns can be used to differentiate chronic phase individuals from those in blast crisis. The invention relates to methods of using these markers to distinguish these conditions. The invention also relates to kits containing ready-to-use microarrays and computer software for data analysis using the statistical methods disclosed herein.

The present invention relates to genetic markers whose expression is correlated with breast cancer. Specifically, the invention provides sets of markers whose expression patterns can be used to differentiate clinical conditions associated with breast cancer, such as the presence or absence of the estrogen receptor ESR1, and BRCA1 and sporadic tumors, and to provide information on the likelihood of tumor distant metastases within five years of initial diagnosis. The invention relates to methods of using these markers to distinguish these conditions. The invention also relates to kits containing ready-to-use microarrays and computer software for data analysis using the statistical methods disclosed herein.

摘要:
In one aspect, the present invention provides methods for determining whether a gene mediates the response of a living cell to an agent. In another aspect, the present invention provides methods to identify a mammalian subject responsive to a KSP inhibitor.
摘要:
The invention provides a method for identifying one or more genes in a cell of a cell type which interact with, e.g., modulate the effect of, an agent, e.g., a drug. For example, an identified gene may confer resistance or sensitivity to a drug, i.e., reduces or enhances the effect of the drug. The invention also provides STK6 and TPX2 as a gene that exhibits synthetic lethal interactions with KSP encoding a kinesin-like motor protein, and methods and compositions for treatment of diseases, e.g., cancers, by modulating the expression of STK6 or TPX2 gene and/or the activity of STK6 or TPX2 gene product. The invention also provides genes involved in cellular response to DNA damage, and their therapeutic uses.
