Abstract
Provided herein are methods and devices for the detection of conditions or disorders by detecting altered levels of stress response pathway biomarkers. Also provided are methods and reagents for identifying panels of biomarkers associated with a condition or disorder.
Claims17
A method for detecting a condition or disorder associated with a stress response in a subject, comprising:
- (i) obtaining from the subject a biological sample comprising an adequate whole cell count comprising whole salivary cells, wherein the cells contain biomarkers;
- (ii) determining that a control sample contains an adequate whole cell count;
- and
- (iii) measuring levels of stress response (SR) biomarkers in a panel, wherein detection of an altered level of at least one SR biomarker in the biological sample, as compared to the control sample is indicative of a condition or disorder associated with a stress response, thereby detecting the condition or disorder in the subject.
