Abstract: The present technology relates to methods for determining whether a patient diagnosed with breast cancer, colorectal cancer, melanoma or lung cancer will benefit from or is predicted to be responsive to treatment with an individual therapeutic agent or a specific combination of therapeutic agents. These methods are based on screening a patient's solid tumors and detecting alterations in target nucleic acid sequences corresponding to a specific set of cancer-related genes. Kits for use in practicing the methods are also provided.

Abstract: The invention provides methods for isolating RNA from the soluble fraction of urine. The methods can be used for detecting the presence or absence of an RNA, or quantifying the amount of an RNA. The methods are useful for diagnosing an individual suspected of having a disease by detecting the level of RNA associated with the disease in the soluble fraction of urine. The methods are also useful for prognosing an individual diagnosed with a disease by detecting the level of RNA associated with the disease in the soluble fraction of urine.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods for determining whether a patient exhibiting cystic fibrosis symptoms, or a patient at risk for cystic fibrosis, will benefit from treatment with one or more anti-cystic fibrosis therapeutic agents. These methods are based on detecting hereditary cystic fibrosis related mutations in small-volume dried biological fluid samples that are collected using a volumetric absorptive microsampling device. Kits for use in practicing the methods are also provided.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides rapid and non-invasive methods for determining whether a patient exhibiting cancer symptoms, or at risk for hereditary cancers such as breast cancer, ovarian cancer, colon cancer, or skin cancer, will benefit from treatment with one or more therapeutic agents. These methods are based on detecting hereditary cancer-related mutations in small-volume dried biological fluid samples that are collected using a volumetric absorptive microsampling device (e.g., MITRA Tip). Kits for use in practicing the methods are also provided.
