Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for diagnosing lung cancer in a mammalian subject by use of 10 or more selected genes, e.g., a gene expression profile, from the blood of the subject which is characteristic of disease. The gene expression profile includes 10 or more genes of Table I or Table II herein.

Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for diagnosing lung cancer in a mammalian subject by use of three or more selected gene, e.g., a gene expression profile, from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of the subject which is characteristic of disease, a stage of the disease, or enables prognosis of recurrence of disease. The gene expression profile includes three or more genes of Table I, Table II, Table III, Table IV, Table V, Table VI or Table VII herein. Detection of changes in expression in the selected genes forming the gene expression profile from that of a reference gene expression profile are correlated with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). One composition for use in such diagnosis includes three or more PCR primer-probe sets, wherein each primer-probe set amplifies a different polynucleotide sequence from the gene expression profile.

Abstract: A multi-analyte composition for the diagnosis of lung cancer or lung disease comprises a ligand selected from a nucleic acid sequence, polynucleotide or oligonucleotide capable of specifically complexing with, hybridizing to, or identifying an mRNA gene transcript from a mammalian blood sample, and an additional ligand selected from a nucleic acid sequence, polynucleotide or oligonucleotide capable of specifically complexing with, hybridizing to, or identifying an miRNA of a gene from a mammalian blood sample. Each ligand and additional ligand binds to a different gene transcript or miRNA and the gene transcripts and miRNA identified form a characteristic profile of a stage of lung cancer or lung disease. Methods of using this composition for diagnosis and evaluation and methods for developing such compositions are described.
