Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Kinase Kinase 14 (MAP3K14) Polymorphisms As Indicators of Subject Outcome in Critically Ill Subjects

摘要

The present application provides methods, uses, commercial packages, and kits for obtaining a prognosis for a subject having or at risk of developing an inflammatory condition and for identifying subjects having a greater benefit from treatment with an anti-inflammatory agent or an anti-coagulant agent. The method generally includes determining the genotype at position rs7222094 or a polymorphic site in linkage disequilibrium thereto for a subject for a polymorphisms in the these genes. The application also provides for methods of identifying potential subjects having an inflammatory condition who are more likely to benefit from treatment with an anti-inflammatory agent or anti-coagulant agent and to recover from the inflammatory condition. The invention also provides for methods of treating such subjects with an anti-inflammatory agent or anti-coagulant agent based on the subject's genotype.
