Test kits and methods for their use

A test kit, comprising:

• a forward primer and a reverse primer for hybridizing to an mRNA or cDNA transcript of insulin-like growth factor binding protein 5 (“IGFBP5”);
• a labeled probe that hybridizes to an mRNA or a cDNA transcript of said IGFBP5 between the binding locations of said forward and reverse primers of IGFBP5;
• a forward primer and a reverse primer for hybridizing to an mRNA or a cDNA oligonucleotide transcript oligonucleotide of homeobox A13 (“HOXA13”);
• a labeled probe that hybridizes to an mRNA or a cDNA transcript of said HOXA13 between the binding locations of said forward and reverse primers of HOXA13;
• a forward primer and a reverse primer for hybridizing to an mRNA or cDNA transcript of midkine (neurite growth promoting factor 2 (“MDK”);
• a labeled probe that hybridizes to an mRNA or a cDNA transcript of said MDK between the binding locations of said forward and reverse primers of MDK;
