  • Patent number: 10220016
    Abstract: This document provides methods and materials involved in assessing chemotherapy responsiveness and treating cancer (e.g., breast cancer). For example, methods and materials for determining whether or not a cancer patient (e.g., a breast cancer patient) is likely to respond to chemotherapy (e.g., a taxane therapy) based at least in part on the presence of a variant in the mammal's polycystic kidney disease gene 1 (PKD1) are provided. In addition, methods and materials involved in treating mammals having cancer (e.g., breast cancer) by administering an inhibitor of ubiquitin specific peptidase 2 (USP2) polypeptide activity (e.g., NSC-632839, a 2-cyano-pyrimidine, or a 2-cyano-triazine) in combination with another chemotherapeutic agent such as a taxane therapy are provided.

  • Patent number: 8137977
    Abstract: The present invention concerns the application of lipidomics to statin treatment for disorders such as cardiovascular disorders. Hence, the invention provides, among other things, a method of correlating a lipid profile with a positive or negative response to a statin treatment regimen by obtaining a lipid profile of a sample from a mammalian subject following commencement of the treatment regimen; and correlating the lipid profile in the sample with a positive or negative response to the treatment regimen. The invention further provides a method of correlating a lipid profile with a positive or negative response to a statin treatment regimen by obtaining a lipid profile of a sample from a mammalian subject before commencement of the treatment regimen; and correlating the lipid profile in the sample with a positive or negative response to the treatment regimen.
