Mar 18, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/727039
Inventors:
Charis Eng - Cleveland Heights OH, US
International Classification:
C12Q 1/68
US Classification:
435 6
Abstract:
The invention is directed to a method of diagnosing cancer, or susceptibility to cancer, in an individual in need thereof comprising detecting homozygosity at one or more loci of the individual's nucleic acid, wherein the one or more loci is selected from the group consisting of: D2S1790, D3S2427, D4S2394, D5S2505, D6S1959, D7S3046, D9S1871, D10S1222, D11S1993, D11S1986, D11S4463, D13S793, D15S822, GATA178F11, D18S1376, and D20S477, and homozygosity at the one or more loci is indicative of a diagnosis of cancer, or susceptibility to cancer, in the individual. Also provided herein are kits for use in diagnosing cancer or susceptibility to cancer in an individual comprising one or more regents for detecting the presence of a homozygosity at one or more loci selected from the group consisting of: D2S1790, D3S2427, D4S2394, D5S2505, D6S1959, D7S3046, D9S1871, D10S1222, D11S1993, D11S1986, D11S4463, D13S793, D15S822, GATA178F11, D18S1376, and D20S477 and instructions for use.

Disease Risk Decision Support Platform

US Patent:
2013010, Apr 25, 2013
Filed:
Oct 19, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/655816
Inventors:
Charis Eng - Cleveland Heights OH, US
Assignee:
THE CLEVELAND CLINIC FOUNDATION - Cleveland OH
International Classification:
G06Q 50/22
US Classification:
705 2
Abstract:
A system provides a disease specific risk reference and includes a plurality of executable item modules that each define a different elementary disease to family structure relationship for a specific disease represented as a logical Boolean operation, and an item scoring engine that ranks positively scored item modules based on a risk level associated with a corresponding elementary disease to family structure relationship, wherein the positive scores identify an existence of a given disease to family structure relationship. The system further includes a disease specific risk reference generator that extracts item content associated with a subset of the highest ranked positively scored item modules from memory and provides the extracted item content in a disease specific risk reference for review by a clinician.
