Abstract: The present invention refers to an in vitro method to detect a bladder transitional cell carcinoma, in an individual, to determine the stage or severity of this cancer in an individual or to monitor the effect of therapy administered to an individual with this cancer; to screen for, identify, develop and evaluate the efficacy of therapeutic compounds against this cancer in order to develop new medicinal products, and also agents that inhibit the expression and/or activity of the FGFR3 protein and/or the effects of this expression.

Abstract: A method for determining the presence or absence of a genetic segment of interest, such as an exon, an intron or a promoter, in a DNA-containing sample, and probe sets for use in such methods, including probe sets comprising oligonucleotide probes having nucleotides sequences selected from those of SEQ ID NOS: 1-101.

Abstract: A non-human transgenic animal having a polynucleotide encoding an STXBP1 polypeptide, which polynucleotide is operably linked to a promoter, wherein said transgenic animal has greater than wild-type expression of the STXBP1 polypeptide in at least one brain region, as well as related vectors, methods of producing transgenic animals, in vitro and in vivo screening methods for potential therapeutic agents, and methods for treating and diagnosing neuropsychiatric illness are disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention refers to an in vitro method for detecting the presence of renal cancer in an individual, for determining the stage, malignancy or severity of said carcinoma in the individual or for monitoring the effect of the therapy administered to an individual having said cancer; to the search, identification, development and assessment of the efficacy of compounds for therapy for said cancer in an attempt to develop new drugs; as well as to agents inducing Plexin-131 protein expression and/or activity, or to agents inhibiting the effects of Plexin-B1 protein expression and/or activity repression.

Abstract: An in vitro method for genotyping genetic variations in a individual, and products for use in the method.

Abstract: The invention relates to an “in vitro” method for determining the global genetic risk a subject has of developing a pathology associated with aging. Said method is based on the combination of particular genetic risks of developing common pathologies associated with aging. Said particular genetic risks are determined from the results obtained from the simultaneous genotyping of certain genetic variations associated with said pathologies associated with aging and the main objective of which is the use thereof in anti-aging medicine.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a group of biomarkers and to non-invasive in vitro methods for the diagnosis or prognosis of endometriosis, as well as to a kit to perform said methods.

Abstract: A method for prognosing recurrence of prostate cancer (PCa) in a subject following prostatectomy using the outcomes of selected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and clinical variables. A method for genotyping PCa associated genetic variations comprising use of a DNA microarray. A microarray for use in the described methods.

Abstract: A method for prognosing a rheumatoid arthritis phenotype using the outcomes of selected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and clinical variables. A method for genotyping multiple rheumatoid arthritis associated genetic variations comprising use of a DNA microrarray. A microarray for use in the described methods.

Abstract: A method for prognosing osteoporosis phenotypes or estimating osteoporosis quantitative traits comprising determining outcomes for selected SNP variables and clinical variables. Products and methods for genotyping multiple osteoporosis associated genetic variations.

Abstract: An in vitro method for genotyping genetic variations in an individual, and products for use in the method.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a non-invasive in vitro method to detect a transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder in an individual via urine analysis, to determine the stage or severity of this cancer in an individual or to monitor the effect of treatment administered to an individual suffering from this cancer.

Abstract: The present invention refers to an in vitro method for detecting the presence of renal cancer in an individual, for determining the stage, malignancy or severity of said carcinoma in the individual or for monitoring the effect of the therapy administered to an individual having said cancer; to the search, identification, development and assessment of the efficacy of compounds for therapy for said cancer in an attempt to develop new drugs; as well as to agents inducing Plexin-131 protein expression and/or activity, or to agents inhibiting the effects of Plexin-B1 protein expression and/or activity repression.

Abstract: The present invention refers to an in vitro method for detecting the presence of demyelinating diseases in an individual, for determining the stage or severity of said diseases in the individual, or for monitoring the effect of the therapy administered to an individual suffering said diseases; to the search, identification, development and evaluation of efficacy of compounds for therapy of said diseases for the purpose of developing new drugs; as well as to agents inhibiting DUSP6 protein expression and/or activity, and/or the effects of this expression. The methods and agents of the invention are preferably applied to multiple sclerosis.
