  • Methods for Detecting and Treating the Early Onset of Aging-Related Conditions
    Publication number: 20080199865
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the invention relate to methods for determining a subject's susceptibility to the early onset or progression of aging-related conditions. In certain aspects the invention relates to accessing the genotype of a subject with respect to an allele of IL-1 pattern 1, pattern 2 and/or pattern 3. In other aspects, the invention relates to methods for selecting a therapeutic regimen, identifying age-related biomarkers, monitoring the progress of age-related conditions and identifying therapeutics for delaying or diminishing the onset of aging-related conditions.

  • Prediction of coronary artery disease
    Patent number: 6210877
    Abstract: Methods and assays are disclosed for predicting a patient's risk for an inflammatory disorder such as coronary artery disease or related vascular disorders. The methods comprise obtaining a biological sample from a patient and determining the presence or absence of a particular allele which is linked with coronary artery disease. Detection of the allele is indicative of susceptibility to develop coronary artery disease. Kits for the detection of coronary artery disease are additionally provided, as are means for identifying additional alleles associated with coronary artery disease.
