  • PREDICTION OF CHEMOTHERAPEUTIC RESPONSE VIA SINGLE-CELL PROFILING OF TRANSCRIPTION SITE ACTIVATION
    Publication number: 20110318732
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to methods for determining tumor resistance or sensitivity to chemotherapeutic agents and the likelihood of tumor reoccurrence based on the expression levels of genes known to correlate to the chemotherapeutic agent. In particular, the expression levels of TYMS, MRGX, ATP7B and/or BAK in tumor cells, as measured by the number of active transcription sites detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), are predictive of resistance and sensitivity to chemotherapy and the likelihood of reoccurrence following chemotherapy treatment.
