BIOMARKERS FOR DIAGNOSING ISCHEMIA

摘要

The present invention provides methods and compositions for diagnosing and predicting the occurrence of ischemia. For example, the present invention provides methods and compositions for diagnosing and predicting the risk and cause of transient neurological events (TNE) as ischemic or non-ischemic.

主权项

1. A method for diagnosing transient cerebral ischemia or a predisposition for experiencing transient cerebral ischemia, the method comprising: determining a level of expression of a plurality of ischemia-associated biomarkers in a biological sample from a patient, wherein an increase or decrease of the level of expression compared to a control indicates that the patient has suffered or is at risk of experiencing transient cerebral ischemia, wherein the plurality of ischemia-associated biomarkers is selected from the biomarkers set forth in Tables 3 and 5, thereby diagnosing transient cerebral ischemia or a predisposition for experiencing transient cerebral ischemia.
