| gene signature | профиль генной экспрессии (A gene signature is a group of genes in a cell whose combined expression pattern[1] is uniquely characteristic of a biological phenotype or medical condition.[2] The phenotypes that may theoretically be defined by a gene expression signature range from those that are used to differentiate between different subtypes of a disease, those that predict the survival or prognosis of an individual with a disease, to those that predict activation of a particular pathway. Ideally, gene signatures can be used to select a group of patients[3] for whom a particular treatment will be effective.[4][5] mumi_vera) |
