Liver necrosis predictive genes

摘要

The invention provides toxicity predictive genes that can be used to predict toxicity in response to one more agents. The invention provides for a method of predicting the liver toxicity in an individual to an agent. The method comprises obtaining a biological sample from an individual treated with the agent. The expression of one or more liver toxicity predictive genes in the sample is measured, wherein the genes are selected from a group consisting of partial gene sequences of genes identified as responsive to agents causing liver necrosis. The process generates a test expression profile. The test expression profile is used with a set of reference expression profiles in a Predictive Model to determine whether the agent will induce liver toxicity in the individual.
