<p>Methods and kits are provided for the assessment of the suitability of and/or effectiveness of a target therapy for a TNF mediated-related disorder, such as ulcerative colitis, in a subject, which methods and kits evaluate the presence, absence, and/or magnitude of expression of two or more genes up or down regulated in association with anti-TNF responders in inflammatory gastrointestinal disorders, such as ulcerative colitis, with at least two genes including BCL6 (Genbank Acc. No. AW264036; SEQ ID NO:118) and tx82a04.x1 (Genbank Acc. No. AI689210; SEQ ID NO:123), optionally further comprising at least one to three of C5AR1 ((Genbank Acc. No.NM001736; SEQ ID NO: 119), FOLR1 ((Genbank Acc. No. U81501; SEQ ID NO: 142) and OSM (Genbank Acc. No. A1079327; SEQ ID NO: 173), optionally further comprising at least one of the listed genes presented in FIG. 7 with a therapeutic response to at least one anti-TNFαagents (e.g., infliximab, golimumab, Enbrel™, Humira™, or other anti-TNF biologic or small molecule drug), in subjects with ulcerative colitis or other gastrointestinal disorder, such as but not limited to Crohn's disease, inflammatory bowel disorder and the like, including mild, moderate, severe, pediatric or adult forms, as well as other forms such as but not limited to steroid, methotrexate or NSAID resistant forms.</p> |
