摘要:
The invention provides with methods for characterizing and selecting, within a population of subjects with type-2 diabetes, subjects that are suited for clinical trials based on the identification of one or more genetic features, which are single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), short tandem repeats (STRs), and/or other genomic markers. The invention further involves characterizing these subjects based on the probability of developing complications related to type-2 diabetes, such as, myocardial infarction, stroke and albuminuria. Also described are combinations and kits for carrying out the above-described methods.
摘要:
The invention provides with means to predict, in subjects affected by type-2-diabetes (T2D), the probability of developing complications related to the disease. The invention involves (1) identification of genetic features such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for the establishment of a patient profile that can be used for prediction of complications associated with T2D. Signature profiles comprising a combination of SNPs which have greater predictive value for prognosticating particular types of complications, such as, stroke, myocardial infarction and kidney complications associated with T2D are further described. Compositions and kits that can be used with a set of complementary phenotypic markers to evaluate the risk for an individual affected by T2D to develop complications related to the disease and to evaluate the likelihood that an individual affected by type 2 diabetes type will benefit from treatments that collectively aim to reduce the risk of developing such complications.

The invention provides with means to predict, in subjects affected by type 2 diabetes (T2D), the probability of developing complications related to the disease. The invention involves 1) use of genetic features (SNPs, STRs, or other genomic markers) together with other chromosomal features and phenotypic information to establish a patient profile specifically developed for prediction of complications of T2D 2) use of a set of SNPs allowing to discriminate between individuals according to their descent. The invention also provides with methods for characterizing and selecting, within a population of subjects with type-2 diabetes, subjects that are suited for clinical trials based on the identification of one or more genetic features. Also described are combinations and kits for carrying out the above-described methods.

摘要:
The present invention concerns a method of determining a predisposition to atrial fibrillation (AF) in a subject comprising: determining the presence of at least one copy of a risk allele from at least one polymorphic marker in a sample from the subject, wherein the presence of at least one copy of the risk allele is indicative of a predisposition to AF, and wherein said at least one polymorphic marker is: a) rs4674485; b) rs1466560; c) rs1880039; d) rs3849387; e) rs7039; f) rs2952860; g) rs9312515; h) rs1897527; i) rs2299277; j) rs2418828; k) rs2385833; l) rs6717960; m) rs10510266; or n) a substitute polymorphic marker in linkage disequilibrium with any one of the polymorphic markers of a) to m). Also described are kits for determining a predisposition to atrial fibrillation (AF).
