  • Patent number: 10400287
    Abstract: This document provides methods and materials involved in assessing samples (e.g., cancer cells) for the presence of homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) or an HRD signature. For example, methods and materials for determining whether or not a cell (e.g., a cancer cell) contains an HRD signature are provided. Materials and methods for identifying cells (e.g., cancer cells) having a deficiency in homology directed repair (HDR) as well as materials and methods for identifying cancer patients likely to respond to a particular cancer treatment regimen also are provided.

  • Publication number: 20160348183
    Abstract: A method predicts the residual risk of recurrence after a taxane-free chemotherapy, and the benefit from inclusion of taxane in a chemotherapy regimen in a patient suffering from or at risk of developing recurrent breast cancer. From determination of expression levels of the genes UBE2C, KIF20A, PTGER3, OSBPL1A, CYP27A1, IGKC, in a tumor sample a prognostic score is determined by mathematically combining the expression level values. The prognostic score is compared to thresholds, classifying the patient in three outcome groups. The expression levels of three genes STC1, PCSK6, S100P in the tumor sample are determined, and the expression level values for STC1, PCSK6 and S100P are mathematically combined to yield a predictive combined score, whereas a high predictive combined score generally indicates an increased likelihood of benefit from inclusion of taxane in a chemotherapy regimen in a patient classified to poor and/or intermediate outcome group.

  • Patent number: 9388472
    Abstract: This document provides methods and materials involved in assessing samples (e.g., cancer cells) for the presence of a loss of heterozygosity (LOH) signature. For example, methods and materials for determining whether or not a cell (e.g., a cancer cell) contains an LOH signature are provided. Materials and methods for identifying cells (e.g., cancer cells) having a deficiency in homology directed repair (HDR) as well as materials and methods for identifying cancer patients likely to respond to a particular cancer treatment regimen also are provided.

  • Publication number: 20140278135
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is discussed that includes identifying, by a computer server system, stored electronic data that represents genetic sequencing for one or more genes for individuals in a population of patients who have submitted to genetic sequencing; generating, for each of multiple individuals and from the stored electronic data, probability data for the individuals and probability or weighting data, or both, for relatives of the individuals, the probability data representing likelihoods that a particular person corresponding to the probability data carries a deleterious mutation in a particular gene; and generating a score for a genetic variant, wherein the score is a function of probability or weighting data, or both, for the individuals and for relatives of the individuals, and the score represent a composite probability that a certain variant is a deleterious or benign variant.
