METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING A MOLECULAR PHENOTYPE OF A PATIENT SUFFERING FROM AN ILLNESS ACCOMPANIED BY CHRONIC INFLAMMATION

摘要

Chronic inflammation is an increasing medical problem area of high socio-economic significance. The invention relates to a method and a kit for diagnosing a molecular phenotype of a patient suffering from an illness accompanied by chronic inflammation, and to a medicament for treating such a patient. To that end, the gene expression of GATA-3 and/or Tbet in a biological isolate of the patient is measured and used for association with a molecular phenotype of the illness.
