METHODS OF PREDICTING CANCER RISK USING GENE EXPRESSION IN PREMALIGNANT TISSUE

摘要

595356 Discloses a method for determining cancer risk of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract comprising measuring the level of RNA transcript of the DUSP6 gene in a sample from a premalignant lesion of the lower GI tract, normalizing the level of the DUSP6 RNA transcript relative to a reference gene, comparing the normalized expression level of DUSP6 to a population with no cancer and determining if the patient has an increased cancer risk of the GI tract if the normalized expression level of DUSP6 is increased.
