METHOD OF ANALYSING A BLOOD SAMPLE OF A SUBJECT FOR THE PRESENCE OF A DISEASE MARKER

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of analysing a blood sample of a subject for the presence of a disease marker, said method comprising the steps of a) extracting nucleic acid from anucleated blood cells in said blood sample to provide an anucleated blood cells-extracted nucleic acid fraction, and b) analysing said anucleated blood cells-extracted nucleic acid fraction for the presence of a disease marker, wherein said disease marker is a disease-specific mutation in a gene of a cell of said subject, or wherein said disease marker is a disease-specific expression profile of genes of a cell of said subject.

1. A method of analysing a blood sample of a subject for the presence of a disease marker, said method comprising the steps of
a) extracting nucleic acid from anucleated blood cells, preferably thrombocytes, in said blood sample to provide an anucleated blood cell-extracted nucleic acid fraction, and b) analysing said anucleated blood cell-extracted nucleic acid fraction for the presence of a disease marker,wherein said disease marker is a disease-specific mutation in a gene of a nucleated cell of said subject, orwherein said disease marker is a disease-specific expression profile of genes of a nucleated cell of said subject.
