  • Single nucleotide polymorphisms in protein-tyrosine phosphatase receptor-type delta for the diagnosis of susceptibility to asthma
    Patent number: 7604945
    Abstract: A gene related to a susceptibility of infection and asthma—the Protein-Tyrosine Phosphatase Receptor-type Delta (PTPRD) gene—a method of detecting the asthma-associated gene, a method of predicting the occurrence of asthma, a method of identifying asthma-associated alleles in PTPRD gene, a method of screening PTPRD for drugs useful in the treatment of asthma, and antibodies specific for PTPRD variants and their use in diagnostic assays.

  • Method for detecting a propensity of an individual to respond effectively to treatment of interferon-? and ribavirin combined therapy
    Patent number: 7108978
    Abstract: It is provided isolated polynucleotides that include sequences from genomic region around the gene CD 81. The polynucleotides include polymorphisms associated with treatment response of HCV patients to interferon-? and ribavirin combined therapy and are useful as the probes in screening for patients who will response to interferon-? and ribavirin combined therapy. It is further provided linkage disequilibrium structure of the CD81 gene and haplotype information within a particular LD block, which can be used for prediction of the treatment outcome of the interferon-? and ribavirin combined therapy on HCV patients.
