Abstract
The present disclosure relates to customized therapy for disease. The present disclosure also relates to aptamer-based compositions and methods for identifying, modulating and monitoring drug targets in muscular disease (e.g., Duchenne muscular dystrophy).
Claims17
A method for treating a subject for muscular dystrophy comprising administering, to a subject in need, a therapeutic effective amount of a therapeutic agent selected from GDF-11, RELT, CD55, WFIKKN1, gelsolin, fibroblast activation protein alpha (FAP), protein jagged-1 (JAG1), bone sialoprotein 2 (IBSP), ADAM metallopeptidase domain 9 (ADAMS), cadherin-5 (CDH5), neural cell adhesion molecule L1-like protein (CHL1), osteomodulin (OMD), contactin-5 (CNTN5), and combinations thereof.
(canceled)
A method for determining a treatment course of action, comprising:
- a) assaying a tissue sample from a subject diagnosed with muscular disease to identify altered levels of one or more proteins relative to the level of said proteins in normal tissue;
- and
- b) administering one or more treatments that targets one or more of said proteins with altered expression.
10-22. (canceled)
A method for treating a disease or monitoring treatment of a disease, comprising:
- a) assaying a biological sample from a subject diagnosed with a disease to identify altered levels of one or more proteins relative to the level of said protein in a reference sample;
- and
- b) administering one or more treatments that target one or more of said proteins with altered expression to said subject.
25-36. (canceled)
A method for monitoring progression of a muscular disease, comprising:
- (a) assaying a biological sample from a subject diagnosed with a disease to identify altered levels of one or more proteins listed in Table 2 relative to the level of said protein in a reference sample;
- or
- (b) assaying a first biological sample from a subject with a muscular disease and assaying a second biological sample from the subject, wherein the first and second biological samples were taken at a first time point and a second time point, to identify altered levels of one or more proteins listed in Table 2 at the second time point relative to the first time point.
