Markers and Methods for Assessing and Treating Ulcerative Colitis and Related Disorders Using a 19 Gene Panel

摘要

A method for assessment of the suitability of a target therapy for a gastrointestinal-related disorder, such as ulcerative colitis, in a subject evaluates the presence, absence, and/or magnitude of expression of one or more genes in a 19- or 5-member gene panel in a sample. The method enables identification of the effectiveness of target therapies prior to starting a patient on such therapies.
