Patent number: 11732303Abstract: The present inventors identified for the first time a germline genomic alteration that accounts for familial myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) and myeloid malignancies. More precisely, they identified a 700 kb germline duplication that proposes patients to essential thrombocythemia (ET) with a high frequency of evolution to myelofibrosis (MF), secondary myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Two out of the 6 duplicated genes (namely ATG2B and GSKIP) have been shown to be overexpressed in hematopoietic progenitors, and this overexpression cooperates with classical mutations in JAK2, MPL, and CALR to generate the MPN phenotype. The presence of the 700 kb germline duplication is thus of poor prognosis for a MPN patient. The present invention discloses a method for detecting a predisposition of developing a MPN, as well as a prognostic method for assessing the probability that an ET-suffering patient will develop a myelofibrosis, a secondary MDS or an AML.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2016Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: Institut Gustave-RoussyInventors: Christine Bellane-Chantelot, Isabelle Plo, William Vainchenker, Cécile Saint-Martin, Antonio D Di Stefano, Joseph Saliba

Patent number: 11639928Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods of processing or analyzing a sample. A method for processing a sample may comprise hybridizing a probe molecule to a target region of a nucleic acid molecule (e.g., a ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecule), barcoding the probe-nucleic acid molecule complex, and performing extension, denaturation, and amplification processes. A method for processing a sample may comprise hybridizing first and second probes to adjacent or non-adjacent target regions of a nucleic acid molecule (e.g., an RNA molecule), linking the first and second probes to provide a probe-linked nucleic acid molecule, and barcoding the probe-linked nucleic acid molecule. One or more processes of the methods described herein may be performed within a partition, such as a droplet or well. One or more processes of the methods described herein may be performed on a cell, such as a permeabilized cell.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2022Date of Patent: May 2, 2023Assignee: 10X GENOMICS, INC.Inventors: Tarjei Sigurd Mikkelsen, Eswar Prasad Ramachandran Iyer, Andrew Kohlway, Luigi Jhon Alvarado Martinez, Katherine Pfeiffer, Andrew D.

Patent number: 11623012Abstract: The present invention relates to polypeptides which are covalently bound to aromatic molecular scaffolds such that two or more peptide loops are subtended between attachment points to the scaffold. In particular, the invention describes peptides which are high affinity binders of the Eph receptor tyrosine kinase A2 (EphA2). The invention also includes drug conjugates comprising said peptides, conjugated to one or more effector and/or functional groups, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising said peptide ligands and drug conjugates and to the use of said peptide ligands and dmg conjugates in preventing, suppressing or treating a disease or disorder characterised by overexpression of EphA2 in diseased tissue (such as a tumour).Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2018Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignee: BicycleRD LimitedInventors: Liuhong Chen, Silvia Pavan, Catherine Stace, Daniel Teufel, Katerine Van Rietschoten

Patent number: 11618922Abstract: Diagnostic biomarkers for diagnosing immune suppression/dysfunction. The diagnostic biomarkers are genes and/or transcripts that are up or down regulated compared to normal expression when a subject has been stressed either mentally and/or physically. The invention also relates to a method of detecting comprised or suppressed immune response in a subject by comparing certain diagnostic biomarkers in the subject to a control set of diagnostic biomarkers.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2014Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: The Government of the United States, as Represented by the Secretary of the ArmyInventors: Seid Muhie, Marti Jett, Rasha Hammamieh
