Christopher M. Palatucci has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Compositions and methods for genetic analysis of polycystic kidney disease
    Patent number: 7521190
    Abstract: The subject invention relates to nucleic acid sequences for detection of mutations in a PKD-1 or PKD-2 gene, as well as biomarkers for ADPKD. The invention further relates to methods for diagnosing ADPKD in an individual, and kits for performing the methods of the invention. The invention also provides a method for determining in an individual the presence or absence of a mutant PKD gene.
    Type: Grant
