Title:
METHODS FOR DETECTING THROMBOCYTOSIS USING BIOMARKERS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/035249
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method to determine the gene expression profile of thrombocytotic sensitive genes. The method comprises the following steps; obtaining hematologic samples from subjects in a training set, analyzing the obtained hematologic samples with a microarray, measuring the expression values of each gene on the microarray, performing analysis to identify differentially expressed genes in the training set among three cohorts of thrombocytosis, obtaining hematologic samples from subjects in an independent testing set, and validating the identity of the differentially expressed genes in the independent testing set among the three cohorts of thrombocytosis. The invention also relates to a method to distinguish thrombocytosis cohorts. The method includes the following steps; obtaining a hematologic sample from a subject, determining gene expression of a biomarker subset, analyzing gene expression of the biomarker subset, and classifying the subject into one of three cohorts.
