150 results about "Gene signature" patented technology

A gene signature or gene expression signature is a single or combined group of genes in a cell with a uniquely characteristic pattern of gene expression that occurs as a result of an altered or unaltered biological process or pathogenic medical condition. This is not to be confused with the concept of gene expression profiling. Activating pathways in a regular physiological process or a physiological response to a stimulus results in a cascade of signal transduction and interactions that elicit altered levels of gene expression, which is classified as the gene signature of that physiological process or response. The clinical applications of gene signatures breakdown into prognostic, diagnostic and predictive signatures. The phenotypes that may theoretically be defined by a gene expression signature range from those that predict the survival or prognosis of an individual with a disease, those that are used to differentiate between different subtypes of a disease, to those that predict activation of a particular pathway. Ideally, gene signatures can be used to select a group of patients for whom a particular treatment will be effective.

Combined diagnosis marker for predicting small hepatocellular carcinoma relapse

ActiveCN105319364AImprove forecast accuracyIncreased prognostic predictive valueMaterial analysisClinical valueIndividualized treatment
The invention discloses a combined diagnosis marker for predicting small hepatocellular carcinoma relapse. Based on an LASSO Cox regression model, the inventor confirms and establishes a small hepatocellular carcinoma relapse prediction model based on 6 gene signatures (including CD147, IL-7, Ki67, MIF, P97 and PD-L1) through analyzing a large number of cases; the risk ratio, defined by a 6 gene signature classifier, of a high relapse risk crowd to a low relapse risk crowd is 2.721 (95% CI: 1.633-4.532; P is smaller than 0.0001); the analysis of an internal validation group and an external validation group has the same result. The experiment proves that the classifier based on the 6 gene signatures can effectively predict different relapse risks of patients suffering from small hepatocellular carcinoma, the traditional diagnosis accuracy rate, predicted through clinicopathological parameters, of small hepatocellular carcinoma relapse is increased, the relapse risk of AFP-negative patients suffering from small hepatocellular carcinoma can be well judged, and the combined diagnosis marker has potential clinical value in the individualized treatment of small hepatocellular carcinoma.

Mucosal gene signatures

Infliximab (IFX) is an effective treatment for Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) not responding to standard therapy. Thirty percent to forty percent of patients however do not improve and the response is often incomplete. We identified mucosal gene signatures predictive of response to EFX using high-density oligonucleotide arrays. Eight UC patients and twelve CD patients showed healing. In UC, only one probe set was differentially expressed in responders compared with non-responders, i.e., IL-13R(alpha)2. At PAM analysis, two probe sets, representing IL-13Ralpha2 and IL-I 1, separated IBD responders from non-responders with an overall misclassification error rate of 0.046 (2 / 43), with 100% sensitivity and 91.3% specificity. The IL-13R(alpha)2 probe set was a top-ranked probe set in all our analyses using both LIMMA and PAM strategies. Our gene array studies of mucosal biopsies identified IL-13R(alpha)2 in IBD as a predictor of response or non-response to IFX.

Producing, cataloging and classifying sequence tags

InactiveUS7618778B2Overcome limitationsShortening the linear chimeric nucleic acid intermediatesSugar derivativesMicrobiological testing/measurementCatalogingDouble strand
The described method provides, methods, and kits to produce, identify, catalog and classify a comprehensive collection of nucleic acid targets produced from a nucleic acid sample. The method, referred to as Cataloging and Classification of Sequence Tags, involves generating a set of target nucleic acid fragments; coupling the target nucleic acid fragments to a nucleic acid bridge comprising, for example, two or more primer binding sites and two recognition sites for cleavage at a site offset from the recognition site to the fragment's end; and cleaving the fragments to generate chimeric nucleic acids of known length. The nucleic acid bridge is thus disposed between the two nucleic acid fragments in the chimeric nucleic acid. The resulting duplex nucleic acids comprise a set of sequence tags (i.e., by amplification using universal primers), comprising an addressable portion, a target nucleic portion and a portion of the nucleic acid bridge. Single-stranded or partial duplex sequence tags may be captured by coupling to a complementary capture probe. Capture probe-sequence tag hybrids, may be detected employing a labeled detector probe. The method allows a complex sample of nucleic acids to be cataloged in a reproducible and sequence-specific manner. The method further provides methods for analysis of the above sample to classify the sequence tags; determine the presence and relative amounts of sequences of interest; derive expressed genes signatures and differential gene expression signatures; and identify putative expressed sequence tags (EST).
