Novel nucleotide and amino acid sequences, and assays and methods of use thereof for diagnosis of breast cancer

摘要

Novel markers for breast cancer that are both sensitive and accurate. These markers are overexpressed in breast cancer specifically, as opposed to normal breast tissue. The measurement of these markers, alone or in combination, in patient samples provides information that the diagnostician can correlate with a probable diagnosis of breast cancer. The markers of the present invention, alone or in combination, show a high degree of differential detection between breast cancer and non-cancerous states.
