US Classification:
435/007100, 435/007320
Abstract:
This present invention provides compositions and methods for assessing the risk of a disease using salivary analysis. Specifically, the present invention provides a method for predicting the risk of a disease, comprising the steps of: a) providing a saliva sample from a subject; b) isolating a mucin in the saliva sample to produce an isolated mucin; and c) quantitating the content of a component in the isolated mucin, to predict the risk of a disease in the subject. The present invention also provides methods for reducing the risk of a disease and diagnostic kits for detecting a disease based on measurement of the content of a component in a salivary mucin.

US Classification:
435 71, 436501, 436518, 436827, 435 734
Abstract:
Provided are methods, test devices, and diagnostic kits for predicting, assessing, and diagnosing the risk of a disease using salivary analysis. The methods comprise providing a whole (unfractionated) saliva sample from a subject; contacting an aliquot of the saliva with two or more lectins under conditions that allow the two or more lectins to bind to a lectin-binding component of the saliva; detecting the amount of bound lectin; and comparing the amount of bound lectin to the amount known to bind a saliva sample from a control patient, to predict the risk of a disease in the subject. Also provided are methods for reducing the risk of a disease and a method for assessing the risk of the disease at a defined level.
