Claim Text:
1. A method comprising the following steps: a) obtaining a biological sample comprising mRNA from a patient and optionally reverse transcribing the mRNA to produce cDNA, b) contacting the mRNA or the cDNA from the biological sample with at least four reagents, each reagent comprising at least one oligonucleotide respectively specific for each of at least four different target genes, wherein the at least four reagents comprise reagents specific for no more than 28 target genes, the no more than 28 target genes selected from the group consisting of genes respectively comprising the full length nucleic acid sequences set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1 to 44, and the at least four reagents being specific for at least four different target genes that comprise the full length nucleic acid sequences set forth in: c) measuring an expression level for each of the at least four target genes to obtain an expression profile for the patient.
