20130115644 | MASS SPECTROMETRY METHOD FOR MEASURING THIAMINE IN BODY FLUID - Provided are methods for determining the amount of total thiamine in a body fluid sample using liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Total thiamine is converted to free thiamine by treatment with an acid phosphatase prior to thiamine separation and quantification. | 05-09-2013 |
20130183680 | ASSAYS AND METHODS FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF POST-STREPTOCOCCAL DISORDERS - Provided are methods for diagnosing a disease in a subject with a previous streptococcal infection by determining the presence or absence of one or more autoantibodies in a biological sample from the subject, wherein the one or more autoantibodies recognize an antigen from a protein selected from the group consisting of ELAVL2, ELAVL3, ELAVL4, Nova-1, Nova-2, Cdr1, Cdr2; and Cdr3. The presence of such autoantibodies is indicative of a positive diagnosis for a post-streptococcal disease such as PANDAS, post-GABHS glomerulonephritis, rheumatic fever, autism and Syndenham's chorea. | 07-18-2013 |
20130187039 | VITAMIN B2 DETECTION BY MASS SPECTROMETRY - Methods are described for measuring the amount of a vitamin B2 in a sample. More specifically, mass spectrometric methods are described for detecting and quantifying vitamin B2 in a sample utilizing on-line extraction methods coupled with tandem mass spectrometric techniques. | 07-25-2013 |
20130196869 | MICRORNA PROFILING FOR DIAGNOSIS OF DYSPLASTIC NEVI AND MELANOMA - Provided herein are methods for miRNA profiling for the diagnosis, prognosis, and management of melanoma and differentiation of melanoma from nevi. | 08-01-2013 |
20130203099 | THYROGLOBULIN QUANTITATION BY MASS SPECTROMETRY - Provided are methods for determining the amount of thyroglobulin in a sample using various purification steps followed by mass spectrometry. The methods generally involve purifying thyroglobulin in a test sample, digesting thyroglobulin to form peptide T129, purifying peptide T129, ionizing peptide T129, detecting the amount of peptide T129 ion generated, and relating the amount of peptide T129 ion to the amount of thyroglobulin originally present in the sample. | 08-08-2013 |

20130206981 | MASS SPECTROMETRY ASSAY FOR CONGENITAL ADRENAL HYPERPLASIA - Methods are provided for detecting the amount of one or more CAH panel analytes (i.e., pregnenolone, 17-OH pregnenolone, progesterone, 17-OH progesterone, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), androstenedione, testosterone, deoxycorticosterone, 11-deoxycortisol, and cortisol) in a sample by mass spectrometry. The methods generally involve ionizing one or more CAH panel analytes in a sample and quantifying the generated ions to determine the amount of one or more CAH panel analytes in the sample. In methods where amounts of multiple CAH panel analytes are detected, the amounts of multiple analytes are detected in the same sample injection. | 08-15-2013 |
20130316341 | METHODS FOR DETECTING GENE DYSREGULATIONS - Described herein are methods, compositions and kits directed to the detection of gene dysregulations such as those arising from gene fusions and/or chromosomal abnormalities, e.g., translocations, insertions, inversions and deletions. Samples containing dysregulated gene(s) of interest may show independent expression patterns for the 5′ and 3′ regions of the gene. The methods, compositions and kits are useful for detecting mutations that cause the differential expression of a 5′ portion of a target gene relative to the 3′ region of the target gene. | 11-28-2013 |
20140106990 | MULTIPLEX DETECTION ASSAY FOR INFLUENZA AND RSV VIRUSES - The present invention generally relates to a molecular test of Influenza A, Influenza B, Respiratory Syncytial Virus A, and Respiratory Syncytial Virus B in order to identify patients with a viral infection. Accordingly methods and compositions are disclosed to determine the presence or absence of a viral pathogen in a sample containing one or more target nucleic acids from the M gene of Influenza A, Influenza B, Respiratory Syncytial Virus A, and/or Respiratory Syncytial Virus B. | 04-17-2014 |
20140178870 | CYSTIC FIBROSIS GENE MUTATIONS - The present invention provides novel mutations of the CFTR gene related to cystic fibrosis or to conditions associated with cystic fibrosis. Also provided are probes for detecting the mutant sequences. Methods of identifying if an individual has a genotype containing one or more mutations in the CFTR gene are further provided. | 06-26-2014 |
