Abstract
The invention relates to a method for the prognosis a person's susceptibility to environmental stress. The method includes: a step of determining the sequence for initiating the translation of at least one of the genes from the CCND family, and a step of quantifying the expression of the protein encoded by said gene, the translation initiation sequence of which was sequenced in the previous step, and comparing said expression with the expression level of said protein from a reference sample.
Claims2
An in vitro method for prognosis of the resistance to chemotherapy of a tumor, said method comprising
- detecting a mutation in the KOZAK sequence of the CCNDI gene by sequencing the KOZAK sequence of the CCNDI gene, said mutation being a C→G substitution in position −7 relative to the ATG codon of the sequence SEQ ID NO:
- 1,
- wherein the sequencing is carried out using a pair of oligonucleotides as set forth in SEQ ID NO:
- 38 and SEQ ID NO:
- 39
- and
- concluding that the tumor will be resistant to chemotherapy.
A method for the prognosis of resistance to chemotherapy of a tumor developed by an individual comprising:
- identifying a mutation in the KOZAK sequence of a gene coding for a Cyclin D1 protein by sequencing the KOZAK sequence of the gene, wherein the sequencing is carried out using a pair of oligonucleotides allowing sequencing of the KOZAK sequence of the gene coding the Cyclin D1 protein wherein the pair of oligonucleotides is a pair of oligonucleotides as set forth in SEQ ID NO:
- 38 and SEQ ID NO:
- 39;
- and,
- concluding that the tumor developed by the individual will be resistant to chemotherapy.
