摘要:
The present invention relates to the field of biomarkers. More specifically, the present invention relates to the use of biomarkers to diagnose and monitor various diseases such as cancer.
摘要:
Robust and reliable molecular diagnostic screening tools for early detection of esophageal and gastrointestinal tract cancers and pre-cancerous lesions, such as Barrett's Esophagus, and esophageal adenocarcinoma are provided. Included in the invention is an array of miRNA probes specific for identifying, diagnosing and prognosticating esophageal and gastrointestinal tract cancers and pre-cancerous lesions in subjects from blood or serum samples. A biochip comprising the array as well as methods for its use are also provided.
摘要:
This invention relates, e.g., to methods for predicting a subject's risk for developing esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) or high-grade dysplasia (HGD), comprising determining in a sample from the subject the methylation levels of transcriptional promoter regions of various combinations of, among other genes, (a) cadherin 13, H-cadherin (heart) (CDH13); (b) tachykinin-1 (TAC1); (c) nel-like 1 (NELL1); (d) A-kinase anchoring protein 12 (AKAP12); (e) somatostatin (SST); (f) transmembrane protein with EGF-like and two follistatin-like domains (HPP1); (g) CDKN2a, cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2a (p16); or (h) runt-related transcription factor 3 (RUNX3).
