  • Patent number: 11566292
    Abstract: There is described herein a method of prognosing endocrine-only treatment in a subject with breast cancer, the method comprising: a) providing a tumor sample of the breast cancer; b) determining the expression level of at least 40 of the genes listed in Table 4 in the tumor sample; c) comparing said expression levels to a reference expression level of the group of genes from control samples from a cohort of subjects; and d) determining the residual risk associated with the breast cancer; wherein a statistically significant difference or similarity in the expression of the group of genes compared to the reference expression level corresponds to a residual risk associated with breast cancer.

  • Publication number: 20200032349
    Abstract: In an aspect, there is provided a method for diagnosing or prognosing a subject with cancer, the method comprising: providing cancer DNA sequencing data from a cancer sample comprising cancer DNA from the subject; comparing the cancer DNA sequencing data with control DNA sequencing data to determine genetic aberrations; determining, from the genetic aberrations, the clonal and subclonal populations present in the sample; constructing a phylogenetic map of the clonal and subclonal populations; assigning to the subject a risk level associated with a better or worse patient outcome or response to therapy; wherein a relatively higher risk level is associated with a higher level of evolution and number of subclonal populations and a relatively lower risk level is associated with a lower level of evolution and number of subclonal populations.

  • Publication number: 20170315119
    Abstract: A SLE and/or lupus nephritis (LN) biomarker panel comprising a solid support and two or more biomarker detection agents, each biomarker detection agent specific for a corresponding target biomarker selected from a group of target biomarkers listed herein is provided; as well as methods for measuring biomarker levels, predicting, prognosing, monitoring and stratifying patients with SLE including active non-LN SLE and active LN SLE.

  • Publication number: 20170228496
    Abstract: Systems, methods and computer-readable media are provided for determining the amount of sequencing required to achieve a target sequencing quality of a genetic sample to be sequenced. The method comprises receiving a genetic sample and sequencing a portion of the genetic sample. A sequencing quality metric belonging to a category of sequencing quality metrics is generated from the sequencing. The amount of sequencing of the genetic sample required to achieve the target sequencing quality is determined by inputting the sequencing quality metric into a trained model. A system is also disclosed for genetic sequencing. Corresponding methods and computer-readable media are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20150294062
    Abstract: A method for identifying a target molecular profile associated with a target cell population. A set of reference molecular profiles and a set of sample molecular profiles are received. Each sample molecular profile is associated with a sample cell from a sample cell population, which includes a mixture of target cells and reference cells. Each of the sample molecular profiles is indicative of a respective target molecular profile. An average target molecular profile is calculated. A proportion value is calculated for each sample molecular profile. A respective target molecular profile is calculated for each sample molecular profile based on the respective calculated proportion value and a closest similarity to the average target molecular profile.

  • Publication number: 20120004116
    Abstract: There is provided a method for identifying a biomarker, such as a gene signature, associated with a biological parameter A 6-gene signature for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is also provided, as well as a method of prognosing or classifying a subject with non-small cell lung cancer into a poor survival group or a good survival group, using said gene signature
