    摘要: Methods for identifying potential therapeutic agents, such as anti-tumor agents, based on their modulation of the expression of specified genes, especially genes mapping to specific chromosomal regions, are disclosed. Also described are methods for diagnosing cancerous, or potentially cancerous, conditions as a result of the expression, or patterns of expression, of such genes, including detecting changes in levels of gene copy number and/or level of amplification of the said gene, or sets of genes, to detect and/or diagnose the cancer. Methods for detecting or determining functionally related genes, as well as methods for treating cancer based on targeting expression products of such genes, determining genes involved in the cancerous process and the success and/or response rates and survival statistics for cancer patients on treatment are encompassed by the invention. Also encompassed are methods involving determining the modulated expression of the genes in these regions of interest (ROIs) as pharmacodynamic/pharmacogenetic /surrogate markers and/or for patient profiling prior to accrual for clinical trials/treatments based on the identification of these genes as validated gene/drug targets in various cancer tissue types.

    摘要: A gene useful as a prognostic indicator of survival of patients afflicted with cancers such as breast cancer is described. Also disclosed are methods for screening potential therapeutic agents, such as antitumor agents, based on their modulation of the expression of a TRIP13 gene, or splice variants thereof, along with methods for diagnosing cancerous, or potentially cancerous, conditions as a result of the expression, or patterns of expression, of such genes, including changes in copy number. Also disclosed are methods for detecting or determining functionally related genes, where disruption of TRIP13 may affect such related-gene expression, as well as methods for treating cancer based on targeting expression products of such genes and determining genes involved in the cancerous process. Methods for identifying, detecting and following patients and others having high levels of amplification/expression of the gene before treatment where differences after treatment serve as markers for indication of success of treatment or for identifying individuals who would benefit from such treatment using this gene marker as a diagnostic and/or prognostic and/or pharmacodynamic or surrogate marker are described.

    摘要: A method of screening for the presence and/or extent of a pathology in a subject, the pathology characterized by an abnormal chromosomal component in a cell of the subject, comprising the steps of: contacting a biological sample comprising cell nuclei from said subject with, one or more distinguishable labeled probes directed to at least one chromosomal sequence that characterizes the abnormality under conditions that promote hybridization of the one or more probes to the at least one sequence, automatically obtaining a representation of the one or more distinguishable labels hybridized to the chromosomal sequences, automatically analyzing the distribution and intensity of binding of the one or more labels in the representation to determine the presence and/or extent of an abnormal chromosomal component; and automatically reporting results of the analysis; wherein the steps are carried out without intervention by a human.
