  • Patent number: 8315818
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods, systems, and code for accurately classifying whether a sample from an individual is associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or a clinical subtype thereof. In particular, the present invention is useful for classifying a sample from an individual as an IBD sample using a statistical algorithm and/or empirical data. The present invention is also useful for differentiating between a clinical subtype of IBD such as Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) using a statistical algorithm and/or empirical data. Thus, the present invention provides an accurate diagnostic prediction of IBD or a clinical subtype thereof and prognostic information useful for guiding treatment decisions.

  • Publication number: 20110244465
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods for analyzing a combination of biomarkers to individualize tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy in patients who have been diagnosed with cancer. In particular, the assay methods of the present invention are useful for predicting, identifying, or monitoring the response of a tumor, tumor cell, or patient to treatment with a tyrosine kinase inhibitor using an algorithm based upon biomarker profiling. The assay methods of the present invention are also useful for predicting whether a patient has a risk of developing toxicity or resistance to treatment with a tyrosine kinase inhibitor. In addition, the assay methods of the present invention are useful for monitoring tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy in a patient receiving the drug to evaluate whether the patient will develop resistance to the drug.

  • Patent number: 7943328
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods, systems, and code for accurately classifying or diagnosing a sample from an individual as an IBS sample. The methods and systems of the present invention are useful for ruling out one or more diseases or disorders that share a similar clinical presentation as IBS followed by identifying (i.e., ruling in) IBS using statistical algorithm(s) and/or empirical data. In particular, the methods and systems of the present invention use a first combination of learning statistical classifier systems to rule out IBD with an accuracy of greater than about 90% and a second combination of learning statistical classifier systems to rule in IBS in a non-IBD sample with an accuracy of greater than about 80%.
