  • Biomarker for detecting a possible incompatability with respect to metal implants
    Patent number: 11649501
    Abstract: A method to predict an increased risk of a greater susceptibility to a metal implant sensitivity in a test person. The method includes providing an isolated sample with a genetic material of the test person, and examining a single nucleotide polymorphism rs1143627 SEQ?ID?NO:?1 AGCCTCCTACTTCTGCTTTTGAAAGC[C/T]ATAAAA ACAGCGAGGGAGAACTGG,? in a gene coding for interleukin 1 beta and ascertaining whether a C is present at a position of the single nucleotide polymorphism, and/or examining a VNTR polymorphism rs2234663 with the repeat SEQ?ID?NO:?2 ATCCTGGGGAAAGTGAGGGAAATATGGACATCACATGGAACAACAT CCAGGAGACTCAGGCCTCTAGGAGTAACTGGGTAGTGTGC, in a gene coding for a IL1 receptor antagonist, IL1-RN and ascertaining whether the repeat is present five times.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 4, 2019
    Date of Patent: May 16, 2023
    Assignee: KLINIKUM DER UNIVERSITAET MUENCHEN
    Inventors: Burkhard Summer, Peter Thomas, Sylvia Usbeck, Diana Lill
