Will gene markers predict hypertension?
Practical Help From Gene Markers It may be unrealistic to expect a pure monogenic (single gene) explanation for most patients with a disorder as common and heterogeneous as essential hypertension. However, gene marker technology can be combined with risk factor epidemiology to try to quantitate the risk of hypertension and sort out heterogeneity. We can hope to define several discrete gene loci...
متن کاملA candidate hypertension gene: will SPON1 hold salt and water?
Hypertension affects 20% of the general population, and yet its etiologic basis remains unknown in the vast proportion of those affected.1 Hypertension greatly increases the risk of stroke, myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure and renal dysfunction thus making it an important focus of clinical research. Although pharmacological reductions in blood pressure have been shown to decrease...
متن کاملUsing Molecular Markers to Help Predict Who Will Fail after Radical Prostatectomy
Recent phase III trial data clearly demonstrate that adjuvant therapy can reduce recurrence and increase survival after prostatectomy for prostate cancer. There is great interest in being able to accurately predict who is at risk of failure to avoid treating those who may not benefit. The standard markers consisting of prostate specific antigen (PSA), Gleason score, and pathological stage are n...
متن کاملWill emerging prostate cancer markers redeem themselves?
During the last several decades, the incidence of prostate cancer has increased dramatically, largely because of the widespread use of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) for diagnostic screening. Serum PSA is undoubtedly one of the most clinically useful cancer markers. Early detection of clinically relevant cancers is possible with PSA-based screening, but the overall benefit of screening is deba...
متن کاملCan Blood Gene Expression Predict Which Patients with Multiple Sclerosis Will Respond to Interferon?
0105 Perspectives D espite the signifi cant progress in increasing our understanding of the immune mechanisms of multiple sclerosis (MS), in improving clinical classifi cation and brain imaging, and in developing new treatments, the factors that determine the course of the disease are mostly unknown [1]. Currently, it is nearly impossible to predict the course of MS, its severity in terms of di...
