Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Aspects of the present invention include methods, compositions and kits for classifying a subject as having or being predisposed to a hematolymphoid neoplasm or malignancy if they harbor a mutation in the LNK gene. Aspects of the present invention also include screening for candidate agents for treating LNK mutation-based hematolymphoid neoplasms or malignancies in cell-based and cell free assays as well as therapeutic compositions for treating a LNK-mutant based hematolymphoid disorder. Also provided are compositions, systems, kits and computer program products that find use in practicing the subject methods.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of identifying a human subject as having or being predisposed to a hematolymphoid neoplasm or malignancy, comprising: (a) obtaining a sample derived from a subject, wherein the sample comprises blood cells and wherein the blood cells do not have a JAK2 V617F mutation; (b) determining the sequence of an LNK gene derived from the sample using PCR or sequencing; and (c) identifying the subject as having or being predisposed to a hematolymphoid neop…
