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:
A method of determining a probability that a human test subject has colorectal cancer as opposed to not having colorectal cancer is disclosed. The method comprises, for each gene of a set of one or more genes selected from the group consisting of ANXA3, CLEC4D, IL2RB, LMNB1, PRRG4, TNFAIP6 and VNN1: determining a level of RNA encoded by the gene in blood of the test subject, thereby generating test data; providing positive control data representing levels of RNA encoded by the gene in blood of human control subjects having colorectal cancer, and providing negative control data representing levels of RNA encoded by the gene in blood of human control subjects not having colorectal cancer; and determining a probability that the test data corresponds to the positive control data and not to the negative control data, where the probability that the test data corresponds to the positive control data and not to the negative control data represents the probability that the test subject has colorectal cancer as opposed to not having colorectal cancer.

The present invention is directed to detection and measurement of gene transcripts and their equivalent nucleic acid products in blood. Specifically provided is analysis performed on a drop of blood for detecting, diagnosing and monitoring diseases using gene-specific and/or tissue-specific primers. The present invention also describes methods by which delineation of the sequence and/or quantitation of the expression levels of disease-specific genes allows for an immediate and accurate diagnostic/prognostic test for disease or to assess the effect of a particular treatment regimen.
摘要:
In one aspect the invention is a method of testing for one or more colorectal pathologies or one or more subtypes of colorectal pathology (in one embodiment colorectal cancer) in a test individual by providing data corresponding to a level of products of selected biomarkers and applying the data to a formula to provide an indication of whether the test individual has one or more colorectal pathologies or one or more subtypes of colorectal pathology. In some aspects the method is computer based and a computer applies the data to the formula. In other aspects a computer system is configured with instructions that cause the processor to provide a user with the indication of whether the test individual has colorectal pathology. Also encompassed are kits for measuring data corresponding to the products of selected biomarkers which in some embodiments include a computer readable medium. Also encompassed are kits and methods of monitoring therapeutic efficacy of treatments for one or more colorectal pathologies.

Described are compositions and methods related to the identification, selection and use of biomarkers which demonstrate particular advantage in identifying individuals having osteoarthritis. Also described are compositions and methods related to the identification, selection and use of biomarkers which demonstrate particular advantage in identifying individuals having a particular stage of Osteoarthritis. Also presented are methods for quantitating the biomarkers in a sample from an individual, for use in the diagnosis and/or prognosis of osteoarthritis.
