Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to a prognostic method for determining whether a subject is at risk of having the CLAD, comprising: measuring the expression level of POU2AF1 or BLK in a biological sample obtained from the subject; comparing the expression level of POU2AF1 or BLK with a predetermined reference value and concluding that the subject is at risk of having CLAD when the expression level of POU2AF1 or BLK is lower than the predetermined reference value.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for discriminating an operationally tolerant (TOL) subject from a non-operationally tolerant (STA) subject, comprising the following steps: i) establishing a composite score of tolerance (cSoT) with the expression levels of six genes in a biological sample obtained from said subject and two clinical parameters; wherein said six genes are ID3, AKR1C3, CD40, CTLA4, TCL1A and MZB1, and wherein said cSoT is established by the following formula: cSoT = ? i n ? = ? i × Exprs + ? test ? ? time × age test ? ? time + ? trans ? ? time × age trans ? ? time + intercept - scaling ? ? coefficient ii) comparing this cSoT with a predetermined reference value; and iii) concluding that the subject is TOL when the cSoT is higher than the predetermined reference value or concluding that the subject is STA when the cSoT is lower than the predetermined reference value.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for predicting the risk of having the CLAD in a subject by measuring the expression level of TCL1A in a biological sample obtained from said subject. Inventors have used a large-scale gene expression profiling of whole blood cells to identify early biomarkers of BOS. Microarray experiments performed from 80 patients (40 stable (STA) and 40 BOS) identified 47 genes differentially expressed between STA and BOS recipients. An independent set of patients (13 STA, 11 BOS) was then used for external validation by qPCR. T-cell leukemia/lymphoma protein 1A (TCL1A) gene was identified and validated as a predictive marker of BOS more than 6 months before diagnosis with area under curve of 0.77. Accordingly, the invention relates to a method for predicting the risk of having the chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) and to a method for preventing the risk of having CLAD by administering immunosuppressive drugs.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for predicting graft alterations in a transplanted patient, comprising a step of determining the expression levels of bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (BPI), chemokine (C motif) ligand 1 (XCL1) and thioredoxin domain containing 3 (TXNDC3) genes in a biological sample obtained from said transplanted patient.

Abstract: The invention relates to the identification of biomarkers of the response status of a patient for a treatment with anti-TNFalpha agents, for treatment with anti-?4?7 agents or with both anti-TNFalpha agent and anti-?4?7 agents and to their use in assessing such status, in particular for assessing nonresponsive status for a treatment with anti-TNFalpha agents or respectively with anti-?4?7 agent in human patients suffering from inflammatory condition or disease, in particular Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), in particular Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn's disease.
