METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ASSISTING DIAGNOSIS OF EFFICACY OF METHOTREXATE IN PATIENT WITH RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS

摘要

Disclosed is a method for assisting diagnosis of efficacy of methotrexate (MTX) in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis, the method including the steps of: analyzing at least one of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of at least one gene selected from FPGS gene, GGH gene, and SLC19A1 gene, at least one of SNPs of FMO2 gene, at least one of SNPs of SLC28A3 gene, at least one of SNPs of EPHX1 gene, and at least one of SNPs of PPARG gene in a biological sample obtained from a patient with rheumatoid arthritis; and determining the efficacy of methotrexate in the patient based on the analysis results.
