GENE EXPRESSION PROFILING BASED IDENTIFICATION OF GENOMIC SIGNATURES OF HIGH-RISK MULTIPLE MYELOMA

摘要

The present invention discloses a method of gene expression profiling to identify genomic signatures linked to survival specific for a disease and a kit that can be used for performing such a method. Also disclosed herein is the use of such a method in classifying the disease into subsets, predicting clinical outcome and survival of an individual, selecting treatment for an individual suffering from a disease, predicting post-relapse risk and survival of an individual, correlating molecular classification of a disease with genomic signature defining the risk group or a combination thereof.
