  • METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION AND THE CLASSIFICATION OF RHEUMATIC CONDITIONS
    Publication number: 20100273671
    Abstract: Methods for the determination and the classification of a rheumatic condition in a synovial sample of a subject afflicted with a rheumatic condition are disclosed. Methods include the steps of determining in the level of expression of at least 20 genes or gene fragments in the synovial sample and identifying whether the level of expression of the genes in the sample correlates with the presence of a rheumatic condition. Kits are also described for the determination and the classification of rheumatic conditions which contain a low density microarray having probes suitable for hybridizing with at least 20 genes or gene fragments. On the basis of the hybridization results, the rheumatic condition is determined.
