GENE EXPRESSION PROFILING FOR IDENTIFICATION, MONITORING, AND TREATMENT OF OSTEOARTHRITIS

摘要

A method is provided in various embodiments for determining a profile data set for a subject with osteoarthritis or conditions related to osteoarthritis based on a sample from the subject, wherein the sample provides a source of RNAs. The method includes using amplification for measuring the amount of RNA corresponding to at least one constituent from Tables 1-2, 4-6, and 8. The profile data set comprises the measure of each constituent, and amplification is performed under measurement conditions that are substantially repeatable.
