摘要:
Methods for the identification of disease-related gene sets and expression nprofiles, based on common chemical modulation using a specific chemical compound are disclosed.
摘要:
Cancer-linked gene sequences, and derived amino acid sequences, are disclosed along with methods for assaying for potential antitumor agents based on their modulation of the expression of these cancer-related genes. Also disclosed are antibodies that react with the disclosed polypeptides and methods of using the antibodies to treat cancerous conditions, such as using the antibody to target cancerous cells in vivo for purposes of delivering therapeutic agents thereto. Also described are methods of diagnosing cancer using the gene sequences as well as the polypeptide sequences.
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.
