Abstract
The invention relates to the clinically intelligent design of diagnostic devices (such as microarrays) and methods of making and using such devices in differential diagnoses of specific clinical symptoms or sets of symptoms. In one aspect, the devices include various probes used to perform parallel screening of a number of analytes. The probes are clustered on the devices based on known clinical presentations of symptoms associated with specific diseases and disorders.

An array comprising a plurality of probes that interact with at least one target in a sample, wherein the at least one target is associated with a cause of at least one symptom, the array comprising:
- (a) a plurality of first probes for at least one target, wherein the target causes at least one symptom;
- and
- (b) a plurality of second probes for at least one genetic marker and/or molecule that cause the at least one symptom.
A kit comprising
- (a) an array comprising
- (i) a plurality of first probes for at least one target in a sample, wherein the target causes at least one symptom, and
- (ii) a plurality of second probes for at least one genetic marker that causes the at least one symptom;
- and
- (b) reagents and/or materials necessary for testing the sample.
