Abstract
The preset invention relates to a method for predicting the disease outcome and/or prognosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) using a variant of surfactant protein D (SP-D) as a biomarker, which is the G-G-C-C-A haplotype of SP-D.
Claims1
A method for detecting G-G-C-C-A haplotype in a sample of a patient comprising the steps of:
- collecting a sample of said patient;
- performing a genotyping assay and detecting the alleles at SNP ID rs2243639, SNP ID rs10887199, SNP ID rs2255601, SNP ID rs721917, and SNP ID rs726288 of surfactant protein D (SP-D) in the sample;
- and
- detecting the presence of the G-G-C-C-A haplotype of SP-D in the sample.
