  • Publication number: 20100197510
    Abstract: Methods are provided for screening for the necessity for further diagnosis of one or more diseases or conditions in a subject, which methods are based on the discovery that abnormal levels of selected analytes in a sample fluid from a subject can be correlated with specific diseases or conditions. Further provided are criteria, and methods for the determine thereof, for selected analytes with respect to selected diseases or conditions. Thus, a variety of diseases or conditions can be screened in a rapid, cost-effective composite assay. The methods are useful for screening of newborn humans for a variety of diseases and conditions, whereby additional diagnostic procedures need only be conducted for those diseases or conditions indicated by the methods of the invention.

  • Publication number: 20100068729
    Abstract: Provided are methods for the detection and diagnosis of a predisposition for developing diabetes. The methods are based on the discovery that abnormal levels of the selected analyte in biological samples, typically blood samples, of patients who are at risk are supportive of a diagnosis of a predisposition for developing diabetes. At least one new biomarker for a predisposition for diabetes is thus disclosed, IGF-1. Other important biomarkers for diabetes are described, including but not limited to ZAG, clusterin, corticosteroid-binding globulin, lumican, and serotransferrin. Kits containing reagents to assist in the analysis of biological samples are also described.

  • Publication number: 20080255766
    Abstract: Provided are methods for the detection and diagnosis of sickle cell. The methods are based on the discovery that abnormal levels of selected analytes in sample fluid, typically blood samples, of patients who are at risk are supportive of a diagnosis of sickle cell. At least two new biomarkers for sickle cell are thus disclosed, Eotaxin and Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-1. Altogether the concentrations of eleven analytes provide a sensitive and selective picture of the patient's condition, namely, whether the patient is suffering from sickle cell. Other important biomarkers for sickle cell are described, including but not limited to IL-12p40, SHBG, MMP-9, Adiponectin, Haptoglobin, FGF basic, IgM, Growth Hormone, Factor VII. Kits containing reagents to assist in the analysis of fluid samples are also described.
