  • Publication number: 20230352144
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, kits, and methods for classifying the status of a transplant based on expression levels of a plurality of genes from a biological sample of a transplant recipient. The status of a transplant may be classified based on a predictive rejection classification including, but not limited to, antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR), T-cell mediated rejection (TCMR), mixed ABMR+TCMR, and no rejection. The predictive rejection classification may be assigned based on probability rejection scores, and a probability rejection score may be assigned to each rejection label. In some embodiments, the rejection label having the highest probability rejection score amongst the plurality of rejection labels may be assigned as the predictive rejection classification. Non-limiting rejection labels may include ABMR, TCMR, mixed ABMR+TCMR, and no rejection. The probability rejection score of each rejection label may be generated based on a plurality of sets of weights and expression levels of genes.

  • Publication number: 20230095582
    Abstract: A method is provided for probabilistically assigning a tissue of origin to a nucleic acid in a sample, e.g., DNA in a cell-free fluid sample obtained from a human subject. A hydroxymethylation profile is generated for the sample DNA and then compared across a reference data set of hydroxymethylation profile vectors, where each hydroxymethylation profile vector identifies the hydroxymethylation profile at a specific reference locus, the tissue-specific gene associated with the reference locus, and the tissue with which the gene and reference locus are associated. A tissue of origin can be probabilistically assigned to the sample nucleic acid using the results of the comparison. Other methods of use are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20210108274
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for identifying patients likely to have pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and patients likely to be at risk for developing PDAC. Related methods are also provided that pertain to patient monitoring, treatment evaluation, and an improved multi-cancer test., as are kits that are suitable for carrying out the aforementioned methods. The invention makes use of hydroxymethylation biomarkers, which in combination with one or more clinical parameters and optionally one or more additional types of biomarkers and/or patient-specific risk factors, exhibit a hydroxymethylation level that correlates with the presence of or risk of developing PDAC.

  • Publication number: 20210062275
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods to determine the prognosis and appropriate treatment for patients diagnosed with cancer, based on the expression levels of one or more biomarkers. More particularly, the invention relates to the identification of genes, or sets of genes, able to distinguish breast cancer patients with a good clinical prognosis from those with a bad clinical prognosis. The invention further provides methods for providing a personalized genomics report for a cancer patient. The inventions also relates to computer systems and software for data analysis using the prognostic and statistical methods disclosed herein.
