Abstract:
1. A method of screening a human patient for increased likelihood of pancreatic cancer comprising: obtaining peripheral blood monocyte-lymphocytes sample from the human patient; isolating mRNA from the sample; determining the expression level of mRNA for Socius, Chromosome 1 open reading frame 38 (C 1 orf38), LIM domain containing 1, Ubiquitin associated protein 2- like, Nucleoporin 93 kDa, zinc finger protein 313, Prune Homolog, and FLJ12584 in the sample; comparing the expression of Socius, Chromosome 1 open reading frame 38 (Clorf38)˜ LIM domain containing 1, Ubiquitin associated protein 2- like, Nucleoporin 93 kDa, zinc finger protein 313, Prune Homolog, and FLJ12584 in the sample to the expression of Socius, Chromosome 1 open reading frame 38 (C 1 orf38), LIM domain containing 1, Ubiquitin associated protein 2- like, Nucleoporin 93 kDa, zinc finger protein 313, Prune Homolog, and FLJ12584 in control peripheral blood monocytes-lymphocytes samples from human subjects known not to have pancreatic cancer; and determining the human patient patients with increased expression of Socius, Chromosome 1 open reading frame 38 (C 1 orf38), LIM domain containing 1, Ubiquitin associated protein 2- like, Nucleoporin 93 kDa, zinc finger protein 313, Prune Homolog, and FLJ12584 relative to control peripheral blood monocyte-lymphocytes samples indicates the patient is more likely to have pancreatic cancer.
