Gene expression profiling for identification, monitoring and treatment of multiple sclerosis
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for predicting an increased risk to an adverse effect from anti-TNF therapy in a subject, based on a sample from the subject, the sample providing a source of RNAs, said method comprising:
- a) assessing a profile data set of a plurality of members, each member being a quantitative measure of the amount of a distinct RNA constituent in a panel of constituents selected so that measurement of the constituents enables characterization of the presumptive signs of multiple sclerosis or an inflammatory condition related to multiple sclerosis, wherein such measure for each constituent is obtained under measurement conditions that are substantially repeatable to produce a patient data set; and
b) comparing the patient data set to a baseline profile data set, wherein the baseline profile data set is related to said multiple sclerosis or inflammatory condition related to multiple sclerosis;
wherein a similarity between the patient data set and the baseline profile data set indicates a risk of an adverse effect from anti-TNF therapy in the subject.

19. A method for predicting an increased risk of an adverse effect from anti-TNF therapy in a subject, based on a sample from the subject, the sample providing a source of RNAs, said method comprising:
-
a) determining a quantitative measure of the amount of at least one constituent of Table 4 or 10 as a distinct RNA constituent, wherein such measure is obtained under measurement conditions that are substantially repeatable to produce a patient data set; b) comparing the patient data set to a baseline profile data set, wherein the baseline profile data set is related to said multiple sclerosis or inflammatory condition related to multiple sclerosis; wherein a similarity between the patient data set and the baseline profile data set indicates a risk of an adverse effect from anti-TNF therapy in the subject. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
