Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a method for classification of kidney tumors through the analysis of the expression patterns of specific microRNAs and nucleic acid molecules relating thereto. Classification according to a microRNA expression framework allows optimization of treatment, and determination of specific therapy.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for distinguishing between oncocytoma, clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC), papillary (chromaphil) RCC and chromophobe RCC in a human subject with renal cancer, the method comprising: (a) obtaining a kidney tumor sample from the human subject; (b) determining an expression profile in said sample of SEQ ID NOS: 1-24 by contacting the sample with probes that hybridize to each of SEQ ID NOS: 1-24, wherein each probe comprises the complement o…
