  • KITS AND METHODS FOR TESTING FOR LUNCH CANCER RISKS, AND DIAGNOSIS OF DISEASE AND DISEASE RISK
    Publication number: 20220340977
    Abstract: Kits and methods for diagnosing risk of developing lung cancers and uses thereof are described. In a first aspect, described herein are lung cancer risk test kits that include reagents for measurement of multiple low VAF (defined as VAF<1%) mutants in a set of lung cancer driver genes; and, instructions therefor.

  • Cancer risk biomarker
    Patent number: 8765368
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and compositions for identifying biomarkers that indicate a biological state, in particular cancer or predisposition to cancer. Also provided are methods and compositions for identifying a greater risk for a cancer-related condition in an subject.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 17, 2008
    Date of Patent: July 1, 2014

  • METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR IDENTIFYING BIOMARKERS USEFUL IN CHARACTERIZING BIOLOGICAL STATES
    Publication number: 20130143207
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods, compositions, and kits for identifying biomarkers useful in characterizing biological states. In particular, the invention relates to methods and compositions for molecular characterization of biological states by gene expression profiling. The invention also relates to assessing effects of DNA polymorphisms on regulation of transcription. The biomarkers and polymorphisms identified find use in diagnostic and treatment approaches, e.g., some embodiments of the invention provide methods and kits for detecting bronchogenic carcinoma and risks thereof.
