DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF ABNORMAL BLOOD CONDITIONS

摘要

Methods for diagnosing whether a subject has, or is at risk of, an abnormal blood condition are described. The methods comprise determining the expression level of a gene specifically associated with adenosine-di-phosphate (ADP)-stimulated platelet activation, collagen-related peptide (CRP)-stimulated platelet activation, or ADP- and CRP-stimulated platelet activation in a biological sample obtained from the subject. Methods for identifying potential therapeutic agents for the treatment of abnormal blood conditions are also described.
