  • Publication number: 20130158023
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods for predicting the LKB1 status of a patient or a biological sample, comprising the measurement of particular gene expression levels relative to a set of reference levels that represent the gene expression level of a biological wild-type sample without LKB1 gene or protein loss or mutation and the gene expression level of a reference sample with LKB1 gene or protein loss or mutation. Further provided herein are methods for treating and/or preventing a cancer or a tumor syndrome in a patient, comprising administering an effective amount of a TOR kinase inhibitor to a patient having cancer or a tumor syndrome, characterized by particular gene expression levels.

  • Patent number: 6197509
    Abstract: A novel, highly polymorphic DNA marker based on the pentanucleotide repeat (CCTTT/GGAAA)n has been identified in the human inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) gene. Twelve different alleles, having between 7 and 18 repeats, have been identified. The repeat is highly polymorphic in the human population and so lends itself to use as a microsatellite marker with uses in, for example, forensic medicine, population studies, family linkage studies and disease diagnosis.
