Abstract: The invention provides methods for reducing angiogenesis and/or inducing vascular disruption in a tissue in a mammalian subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the subject a therapeutic amount of thiabendazole (TBZ) that is effective to reduce angiogenesis and/or induce vascular disruption in the tissue.

Abstract: A method for the quantification of equivalence between mutational phenotypes to develop non-obvious human disease models is described herein. The present inventors discover candidate genes for diseases of interest by: first, identifying orthologous phenotypes (called phenologs) involving the phenotype of interest (the first phenotype), in which a set of genes is associated with the first phenotype in the first organism, a set of genes is associated with a second phenotype in a second organism, the first and second phenotypes not having one or more common characteristics, and the second phenotype is selected such that at least one gene belongs to both the first and second phenotype gene sets; second, selecting from the second organism one or more second phenotype genes, other than the genes known to overlap the first and second phenotypes, as candidates for also belonging to the first phenotype in the first organism.
