Abstract:
The present invention provides methods for the diagnosis of a disease or condition in an individual. The methods employ a primary self-organizing map trained with biological marker profiles from tissues having known diseases or conditions, in combination with a secondary self-organizing map which displays a representation of a subset of the primary self-organizing map with sample data obtained from an individual in need of diagnosis. A result is prepared from the secondary SOM(s) that reveals the extent of similarity between the known diseases or conditions with the sample data set of the individual. The result can be provided to a practitioner to aid in the diagnosis of the individual.

Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
       [0001]    The present invention relates to computational methods of presentation and interpretation of clinical data. 
       BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0002]    The following description is provided solely to assist the understanding of the present invention. None of the references cited or information provided is admitted to be prior art to the present invention. 
         [0003]    The use of biochemical assay data such as gene expression data (i.e., gene expression profiling) is rapidly expanding the diagnosis and treatment of disease. However, large quantities of data can be difficult for a human to comprehend en masse. Thus, techniques have been developed to present complex data to individuals for evaluation. For example, statistical methodologies directed at classification of disease have been described, based on gene expression data. See Tothill et al. ( Cancer Res.  2005, 65:4031-4040); Ma et al. ( Arch. Pathol. Lab. Med.,  2006, 130:465-473); Ramaswamy et al. ( Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci, USA,  2001, 98:15149-15154); Eils (U.S. Pub. Pat. Appl. No. 2004/0076984); Botstein et al. (U.S. Pub. Appl.

       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0004]    The present invention provides methods for the diagnosis of a disease or condition in an individual. These methods include assessing the level of selected biological markers within a biological sample obtained from the individual, comparing the levels of these markers in the sample with the levels of these markers in tissue or body fluid from an individual having a known disease, disorder or condition, and presenting the comparison in a form suitable for medical diagnosis. 
         [0005]    As used herein, “biological marker” refers to a biomolecule, for example nucleic acid or protein. As a non-limiting example, the present invention provides methods for determining the primary source of a metastatic carcinoma; i.e., cancer of unknown primary. The terms “cancer of unknown primary,” “CUP,” and terms of like important refer to cancers that present in one or more metastatic sites and in which the primary site is not known. The terms “primary,” “primary site,” “primary tissue type,” “primary cancer type” and terms of like import refer in the context of cancer to the original site (i.e., tissue) in which the cancer formed. The terms “metastatic site,” “secondary site,” and terms of like import refers to other parts of the body in which cancer presents but which are not the primary site. As well understood by those of ordinary skill in the art, cancers can spread from a primary site to one or more metastatic sites. Cancers are named according to origin (i.e., primary site) regardless of where in the body the cancers spread. Because knowledge of a primary site is an important factor in determining diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis (Buckhaults et al., supra), attempts (e.g., clinical tests) are often made to determine the primary site giving rise to the metastatic site. When a primary site is determined, a cancer is no longer considered a cancer of unknown primary and is renamed according to the newly discovered primary site. For example, a lung cancer that spreads to the lymph nodes, adrenal glands, and the liver is still classified as lung cancer and not as a lymphoma (i.e., cancer of the lymph nodes), adenocarcinoma (i.e., cancer of the adrenal glands), or hepatoma (i.e., cancer of the liver). In the case of CUP, a subject may present with a metastatic cancer for which the primary cancer is occult or even no longer extant. As described herein, in some embodiments the invention contemplates gene expression level data of tissues from histologically certified primary cancer types, which data have been analyzed and transformed into a representation wherein similar types of cancer appear close to one another. The term “histologically certified primary cancer types” refers to primary cancers which have been diagnosed by an oncologist, pathologist, or other specialist using methods well known in the art of cancer diagnostics. An assay (e.g., biopsy) of a metastatic cancer can be conducted, and the levels of gene expression within the metastatic cancer can be determined by methods well known in the art. The gene expression profile of the metastatic cancer can then be compared by methods provided herein with the gene expression profiles of the histologically certified primary cancer types. The comparison is presented to a medical practitioner in a form which is understandable, and which provides assistance of diagnosis and prognosis. 
         [0006]    In a first aspect, the invention provides a method for diagnosis of a disease or condition in an individual, the method comprising: a) providing a primary self organizing map (SOM) constructed using a plurality of data sets of measurements obtained from a plurality of individuals each having a disease or condition; b) preparing a secondary SOM using a distinct labeling set, said distinct labeling set encompassing data sets of measurements of a particular disease or condition, said secondary SOM including a sample data set obtained from a sample of said individual; and c) preparing a result from the secondary SOM that reveals the extent of similarity between the data sets of measurements of the distinct labeling set and the sample data set of the individual; whereby a medical practitioner can use the result to diagnose said disease or condition. In some embodiments, the plurality of individuals providing the data sets of measurements used to construct the primary SOM represent a plurality of diseases or conditions. In some embodiments, step b) is repeated to prepare multiple secondary SOMs for different diseases or conditions 
         [0007]    As used herein, “self-organizing map,” “SOM,” and terms of like import refer to a clustering technique, and the representation of the result thereof, which technique groups data such that similar data are generally clustered closer than are dissimilar data. The terms “nearer” “closer” and terms of like import in this context refers to literal proximity in the SOM. Minor variations in the positioning of data comprising a SOM can be tolerated without departing from the underlying description of the SOM as provided herein and in references cited herein and known to one of ordinary skill in the art. The SOM, first enunciated by Kohonen (see e.g., Kohonen, T. “Self-Organized Formation of Topologically Correct Feature Maps”, Biological Cybernetics, 1982, 43:59-69; Kohonen, T., “The Self-Organizing Map”, Proc. of the IEEE, 1985, 73-1551-1558; Kohonen, T. “The Self-Organizing Map”, Proc. of the IEEE, 1990, 78:1464-1480; Kohonen, T., Self-Organizing Maps, Springer, 1995), is a neural network model that is capable of projecting high-dimensional input data (i.e., multivariate data vectors) onto a lower-dimensional array, typically 2-dimensional. This projection produces a lower-dimensional representation that is useful in detecting and analyzing features from the higher-dimensional input space. The term “dimension” in the context of a multivariate data vector refers to the length of the data vector, such that each of the multiple variables thereof describes a unique dimension. For example, a dimension can refer to the gene expression level, optionally normalized, of a specific gene. The term “dimension” in the context of a representation (e.g., visual representation) refers to the 1-, 2-, or 3-dimensional presentations generally used to provide information to a human. Provision of such information can be interactive as for example on a computer screen, printed, or otherwise displayed. In general, a SOM includes a set of map cells represented in a 1-, 2-, or 3-dimensional space, wherein the map cells are located in an ordered array. As used herein, the term “SOM” is understood to refer to a self-organizing map data structure and or the display thereof showing clustering of the similar data. 
         [0008]    In some embodiments of the methods provided herein, the sets of measurements representing a plurality of different diseases or conditions. In some embodiments, the data sets of measurements are obtained from a plurality of individuals, each having a known disease or condition. In some embodiments, the sample data sets obtained from a sample from an individual in need of diagnosis are gene expression levels from a test sample. In some embodiments, the data sets are protein levels. As used herein, “sample” or “test sample” refers to any liquid or solid material that can assayed for gene expression or protein concentration. In preferred embodiments, a test sample is obtained from a biological source (i.e., a “biological sample”), a tissue sample or bodily fluid from an animal, most preferably from a human. Preferred sample tissues include, but are not limited to, lesions of specific organs including skin, colon, rectum, lung, breast, ovary, prostate, stomach, or kidney. 
         [0009]    In some embodiments the different diseases or conditions are tumors including the following types: adrenal, brain, breast, carcinoid-intestine, cervix-adeno, cervix-squamous, endometrium, gallbladder, germ-cell-ovary, gastrointestinal stromal, kidney, leiomyosarcoma, liver, lung-adeno-large cell, lung-small cell, lung-squamous, lymphoma-B cell, lymphoma-Hodgkin, lymphoma-T cell, memigioma, mesothelioma, osteosarcoma, ovary-clear, ovary-serous, pancreas, skin-basal cell, skin-melanoma, skin-squamous, small bowel, large bowel, soft tissue-liposarcoma, soft tissue-malignant fibrous histiocytoma, soft tissue-sarcoma-synovial, stomach-adeno, testis-other, testis-seminoma, thyroid-follicular-papillary, thyroid-medullary, and urinary bladder. 
         [0010]    In some embodiments, the sets of measurements representing a plurality of different diseases or conditions include CD (i.e., cluster of differentiation) or IHC (i.e., immunohistochemistry) markers. Representative IHC markers includes without limitation carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), CD15, CD30, alpha fetoprotein, CD117, prostate specific antigen (PSA), and the like. 
         [0011]    Methods of assaying gene expression levels are well known in the art, and include protein and nucleic acid determination. As used herein, “nucleic acid” refers broadly to segments of a chromosome, segments or portions of DNA, cDNA, and/or RNA. Nucleic acid may be derived or obtained from an originally isolated nucleic acid containing sample from any source (e.g., isolated from, purified from, amplified from, cloned from, reverse transcribed from sample DNA or RNA). 
         [0012]    As used herein, “target nucleic acid” or “target sequence” refers to a sequence to be amplified and/or detected. These include the original nucleic acid sequence to be amplified, its complementary second strand of the original nucleic acid sequence to be amplified, and either strand of a copy of the original sequence which is produced by the amplification reaction. Target sequences may be composed of segments of a chromosome, a complete gene with or without intergenic sequence, segments or portions a gene with or without intergenic sequence, or sequence of nucleic acids to which probes or primers are designed. Target nucleic acids may include wild type sequences, nucleic acid sequences containing mutations, deletions or duplications, tandem repeat regions, a gene of interest, a region of a gene of interest or any upstream or downstream region thereof. Target nucleic acids may represent alternative sequences or alleles of a particular gene. Target nucleic acids may be derived from genomic DNA, cDNA, or RNA, preferably cDNA. Target nucleic acid may be native DNA or a copy of native DNA such as by PCR (i.e., polymerase chain reaction) amplification. 
         [0013]    As used herein, “amplification” or “amplify” as used herein means one or more methods known in the art for copying a target nucleic acid, thereby increasing the number of copies of a selected nucleic acid sequence. Amplification may be exponential or linear. A target nucleic acid may be either DNA or RNA. The sequences amplified in this manner form an “amplicon.” While the exemplary methods described hereinafter relate to amplification using PCR, numerous other methods are known in the art for amplification of nucleic acids (e.g., isothermal methods, rolling circle methods, etc.). The skilled artisan will understand that these other methods may be used either in place of, or together with, PCR methods. See, e.g., Saiki, “Amplification of Genomic DNA” in  PCR Protocols , Innis et al., Eds., Academic Press, San Diego, Calif. 1990, pp 13-20; Wharam et al.,  Nucleic Acids Res.  2001 Jun. 1; 29(11):E54-E54; Hafner et al.,  Biotechniques  2001 April; 30(4):852-6, 858, 860 passim; Zhong et al.,  Biotechniques  2001 April; 30(4):852-6, 858, 860 passim. 
         [0014]    As used herein, a “primer” for amplification is an oligonucleotide that specifically anneals to a target or marker nucleotide sequence. The 3′ nucleotide of the primer should be identical to the target or marker sequence at a corresponding nucleotide position for optimal amplification. 
         [0015]    As used herein, “sense strand” means the strand of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) that includes at least a portion of a coding sequence of a functional protein. “Anti-sense strand” means the strand of dsDNA that is the reverse complement of the sense strand. 
         [0016]    As used herein, a “forward primer” is a primer that anneals to the anti-sense strand of dsDNA. A “reverse primer” anneals to the sense-strand of dsDNA. 
         [0017]    As used herein, “normalized” in the context of gene expression data refers to arithmetic manipulation of observed gene expression data. Such manipulation can include the subtraction of the gene expression levels of genes which do not change in the disease or condition relative to the non-diseased state (i.e., “housekeeping” gene as known in the art.) Such manipulation can further include other arithmetic operations including multiplication by a factor, addition of an offset, negation, and the like. Further normalization procedures include subtraction of the average expression level of a specific gene from each individual sample. Exemplary housekeeping genes include without limitation those listed in Table 1. As used herein, the term “locus” in the context of the identity of a biomolecule refers to the LOCUS field in an entry of the GenBank® database. GenBank® is the NIH (National Institutes of Health) genetic sequence database which includes an annotated collection of all publicly available DNA sequences ( Nucleic Acids Research,  2004 32:23-6).

         [0018]    The plurality of data sets of measurements representing a plurality of different diseases or conditions may be narrowed in number by methods well known in the art. Standard, well-known regression techniques and other mathematical modeling may be employed to identify the most appropriate set of genes for the construction of the primary SOM, and to determine the values of the coefficients of these variables. The precise set of genes that are identified and the predictive ability of the resulting model (i.e., SOM) generally may depend upon the quality of the underlying data that is used to develop the model. Such factors as the size and completeness of the data set may be significant. The selection of the relevant variables and the computation of the appropriate coefficients are well within the skill of an ordinary person skilled in the art. In some embodiments, the plurality of data sets of measurements representing a plurality of different diseases or conditions may be narrowed in number by forward or backward stepwise logistic regression, linear regression, logistic regression, or non-stepwise logistic regression, all known to one of skill in the art. 
         [0019]    As used herein, “map cell,” “cell,” and terms of like import refer to the individual weight vectors, and the spatial representation thereof, which form a SOM in the sense that each map cell is uniquely associated with a weight vector. 
         [0020]    As used herein, “weight vector” refers to a multivariate data vector associated with a unique map cell (i.e., each map cell is characterized by a weight vector) which represents the results of training the SOM. 
         [0021]    As used herein, “training vector,” “training sample” and terms of like import refer to a multivariate data vector that represents a set of characteristics used for training the SOM. As used herein, “set of characteristics used for training the SOM” refers to measurable properties of tissue having a disease or condition including, without limitation, levels of gene expression or protein levels as described herein. Weight vectors and training vectors of necessity must overlap with respect to some dimensions; however, both weight vectors and training vectors may contain additional dimensions not included in the other. For example, a training vector may include (i.e., be associated with) additional entries (e.g., name, location, and the like) which are not used in training a SOM. Conversely, a weight vector may contain additional entries (e.g., display properties of the associated map cell) which have no counterpart in a training vector. In certain embodiments, map cells can be designated (i.e., highlighted by color, shaded, annotated, or otherwise distinguished) to focus attention on an individual map cell. 
         [0022]    As used herein, “multivariate data vector” refers to a plurality of ordered data elements. Examples of multivariate data vectors include, without limitation, the expression levels of nucleic acids and proteins in a biological sample. Weight vectors and training vectors are examples of multivariate data vectors. 
         [0023]    As used herein, “data sets of measurements representing a plurality of different diseases or conditions” and terms of like import refer to quantified levels of biological markers obtained from samples having known disease or condition. Examples of such biological markers include, without limitation, gene expression and protein levels. Examples of biological markers suitable for use with the invention include the proteins provided in Table 2 herein. “Sample data set obtained from a sample from an individual in need of diagnosis” and terms of like import refer to quantified levels of biological markers obtained from a sample from an individual in need of diagnosis, which in this context includes diseased tissue, for example a metastatic cancer site. Assessment of such biological marker data is routinely conducted by those skilled in the art employing methods including without limitation determination of levels of nucleic acid and protein. In some embodiments, gene expression data from samples having known pathology, and from an individual in need of diagnosis, form the individual dimensions of training and weight vectors. 
         [0024]    As used herein, “ordered array of map cells” and like terms refer to the spatial arrangement of map cells forming a SOM. For example, in a 1-dimensional context, map cells can assume e.g. a regular spacing on a line. In a 2- or 3-dimension context, map cells can assume a variety of regularly spaced arrangements, for example, square or hexagonal lattices. 
         [0025]    As used herein, “training the SOM,” “training phase,” “SOM calculation” and like terms refer to a process wherein the weight vectors of map cells of the SOM, after initialization, are changed in response to repeated input of training vectors. As used herein, “initializing a SOM” refers to the process whereby a SOM is initially populated with weight vectors prior to training the SOM with training vectors. Methods of training the SOM are well known in the art. During the training phase, the weight vectors of the map cells gradually change so as to align according to the distribution of the training vectors. 
         [0026]    As used herein, “primary SOM” means a self-organizing map which has been trained with a set of training vectors. 
         [0027]    As used herein, “secondary SOM” means all or part of a primary SOM which may optionally include a sample data set obtained from a sample from an individual in need of diagnosis. The term “display of all or part of a primary SOM” refers to a selective display of individual map cells in a SOM. The term “selective display,” “distinct labeling set,” and like terms refer to indicia within the SOM data structure (e.g., subject information including diagnosis, therapeutic regimens, results of therapy, age, sex, case history reference numbers, and the like) or presented with a display of the SOM (e.g., coloring or other highlighting, flashing, annotation, and the like) to distinguish individual map cells. The selection of individual map cells in a SOM can follow any of numerous types of information associated with training vectors, including without limitation, the tissue source of the training vector most similar to the weight vector characterizing a map cell, the number of training vectors which are most similar to a specific weight vector characterizing a map cell, age, sex, prognosis, the response of the disease or condition to an agent or therapeutic regimen, and other criteria well known in the art. Preferably, a secondary SOM selectively displays map cells associated with weight vectors which are most similar to training vectors derived from a single tissue type or cancer type. For example, a secondary SOM directed at colorectal cancer selectively displays map cells which are associated with training vectors derived from tissues characterized by colorectal cancer. Accordingly, in the case of colorectal cancer the distinct labeling set contemplates training vectors derived from tissues characterized as having colorectal cancer. Additionally, a secondary SOM is optionally augmented by a sample data set obtained from a sample from an individual in need of diagnosis, which means that the map cell of the secondary SOM having a weight vector which most closely matches the sample data set is distinguished by any of the indicia described above. The terms “most similar,” “most closely matches,” and terms of like import refer to the comparison of multivariate data vectors by methods well known in the art and as described herein. Preferably, similarity is calculated as the Euclidean distance between two multivariate data vectors, as described herein. In some embodiments, similarity is calculated as the Mahalanobis, Hamming, or Chebychev distance between two multivariate data vectors, as described herein. 
         [0028]    As used herein, “preparing a result” and terms of like import in the context of a secondary SOM refer to preparation of a measure of the extent of similarity between the data sets of measurements resulting from a disease or condition and the sample data set of an individual in need of diagnosis. In preferred embodiments, the data sets of measurements result from known (e.g., histologically certified, or otherwise diagnosed) diseases or conditions. In some embodiments, the result is a display of one or more secondary SOMs showing at least a distinct labeling set and the sample data set of the individual to be diagnosed. In some embodiments, the result is a numeric probability that the unknown disease or condition is one of the known diseases or conditions represented in the data sets of measurements used to construct the primary and secondary SOMs. 
         [0029]    Well known techniques of computer imagery can be employed to project a 3-dimensional SOM onto a 2-dimensional display (e.g., computer screen) allowing interactive manipulation (e.g., rotation, translation, and scaling) of the 2-dimension display. In certain embodiments, the SOM can be adapted to provide a variety of functionalities. For example, the display of a SOM can be adapted such that each map cell thereof is independently pickable. 
         [0030]    As used herein, “pickable” refers to the ability of a computer displayed object to be picked (i.e., chosen, identified, highlighted, or otherwise designated) in response to the action of a computer user. In some embodiments, the user action is the positioning of a cursor by, for example, the movement of a computer pointing device (e.g., computer mouse and the like) which is optionally clicked after positioning. In some embodiments, annotation associated with a picked map cell is displayed to a computer user in response to a picking action by the user. Annotation so displayed can provide a variety of information, including without limitation selected case history data including previous therapeutic regimens and responses thereto, age, sex, and other factors known to one skilled in the art. In some embodiments of methods provided herein, information associated with a map cell of a primary or secondary SOM is displayed. In some embodiments, the information associated with a map cell is displayed after the map cell is picked. In some embodiments, the displayed information comprises annotation associated with the training vectors which correspond to the picked map cell. In some embodiments, the display further comprises annotation associated with map cells near the picked map cell. As used herein “near the picked map cell” and like terms refer to map cells in proximity (e.g., nearest neighbor, next-nearest neighbor, and the like) to a picked map cell. 
         [0031]    As used herein, “data element,” “scalar,” and like terms refer to the individual components of a multivariate data vector, each occupying a different dimension of the multivariate data vector. Such data elements can be continuous (e.g., a real number) or discrete (e.g., on/off, yes/no, male/female, and the like). 
         [0032]    As used herein, “clustering technique,” “method of clustering,” and like terms refer to a variety of techniques whereby data are grouped (i.e., segregated based on similarity). In some embodiments, clustering is achieved by K-means clustering, hierarchical clustering, or expectation maximization clustering. The term “representation of clustering technique” refers to a printed or otherwise displayed (e.g., computer image) representation of the result of a clustering technique. A SOM is a clustering technique and a representation of a clustering technique. Representations of clustering techniques can be 1-, 2-, or 3-dimensional, preferably 2-dimensional (e.g., printed or displayed as a computer image). 
         [0033]    As used herein, “Euclidean distance” is used in the conventional sense to refer to the distance d AB  in an N-dimension space between multivariate data vectors A and B having N components a i  and b i , respectively, according to the generalized Pythagorean Theorem, Eqn. 1:

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
       [0053]    The construction of primary SOMs as described herein employs methodologies and software tools well known to the skilled artisan. Descriptions of suitable methods of construction are provided herein and by references described herein. Software packages which provide computational support for the construction of SOMs are available as commercial and public domain software packages including, without limitation, MATLAB® (The Mathworks, Inc., Natick, Mass.) and the SOM Toolbox for MATLAB® (Laboratory of Computer and Information Science, Helsinki University of Technology, Finland). 
         [0054]    Briefly, construction of 2-dimensional SOMs may generally follow the steps as diagrammed in  FIG. 1 . Initially, each map cell (e.g., rectangular or hexagonal lattice point in a 2-dimension SOM) is assigned an initial weight vector (Step  0101 ). Many methods for the initial assignment of weight vectors are known to the skilled artisan including, without limitation, random assignment of a number to each scalar forming the weight vectors. The term “random” refers to equal probability for any of a set of possible outcomes. The numeric value of such randomly assigned scalar values may be approximately bounded at the lower and upper extrema by the corresponding extrema observed in the training vectors. Another method of initiation of weight vectors include a systematic (e.g., linear) variation in the range of each dimension of each weight vector to approximately overlap the corresponding range observed in the training vectors. In yet another method of initialization, the weights are initialized by values of the vectors ordered along a two-dimension subspace spanned by the two principal eigenvectors of the training vectors obtaining by methods of orthogonalization well known in the art (e.g., Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization). In yet a further initialization procedure, initial values are set to randomly chosen patterns of the training sample. 
         [0055]    In step  0102 , a training vector is selected. The selection may be random or systematic, preferably random. When a training vector is selected, the Euclidean distance between the selected training vector and each weight vector of the SOM is calculated. 
         [0056]    In step  0103 , the weight vector having the smallest Euclidean distance is declared the “best matching unit” (BMU). Once a BMU is identified, the neighborhood about this BMU is optionally scaled (step  0104 ) by methods well known in the art. 
         [0057]    At step  0105  a decision is made whether to re-iterate processes  0102 - 0104 , or to terminate construction of the SOM. This decision is based on whether a predefined convergence criterion has been met. The term “convergence criterion” in the context of SOM construction refers to any of a variety of metrics available to the skilled artisan. Such criteria include an absolute iteration limit (e.g., 100, 200, 500, 1000, 2000, 5000, or even more), an absolute largest change in Euclidean distance between the selected training vector and each weight vector of the SOM (e.g., 100, 10, 1, 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, and even less), a relative largest change in Euclidean distance between the selected training vector and each weight vector of the SOM (e.g., 10%, 1%, 0.1%, 0.01%, and even less), or any of these criteria additionally coupled with a requirement that all training vectors be selected a minimum number of times (e.g, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, or even more). After convergence is reached, the procedure terminates (step  0106 ). 
         [0058]    In some embodiments of methods provided herein for the diagnosis of a disease or condition in an individual, each of the plurality of diseases or conditions which are represented in data sets of measurements contemplated in the construction of a primary SOM is a cancer. As used herein “specific cancers,” “particular cancers” and terms of like import contemplated in this context include without limitation melanoma, pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, small cell lung cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, stomach cancer, or kidney cancer. 
         [0059]    In certain embodiments of methods provided herein, the sample data set obtained from a sample from an individual in need of diagnosis, and the data sets of measurements which represent a plurality of different diseases or conditions, comprise data vectors of scalars (i.e., multivariate data vectors). The scalars may be continuous or discrete, as understood by one of skill in the art. In preferred embodiments, the sample data set is isomorphic with the data sets of measurements representing a plurality of different diseases or conditions used to construct the primary and secondary SOMs. As used herein, “isomorphic” refers to correspondence of each element, on an element by element basis, of multivariate data vectors used to construct a SOM. For example without limitation, two multivariate data vectors are isomorphic if each dimension thereof used in construction of a SOM represents the same biological marker. In some embodiments, the dimensionality of the data vectors of scalars described herein is greater than 2. In some embodiments, the dimensionality of the data vectors of scalars described herein is greater than or equal to 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 29, 40, 50, 75, 87, 100, or even more. In some embodiments, the dimensionality of the data vectors of scalars described herein is at least 20. In some embodiments, the dimensionality of the data vectors of scalars described herein is at least 29. In some embodiments, the dimensionality of the data vectors of scalars described herein is 29. 
         [0060]    In certain embodiments, a plurality of secondary SOMs, each employing a different distinct labeling set, are formed by methods described herein. Exemplary distinct labeling sets include without limitation distinct labeling sets directed at melanoma, pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, small cell lung cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, stomach cancer, or kidney cancer. 
         [0061]    In certain embodiments, the medical practitioner to whom the at least one secondary SOM is provided is a non-veterinary medical practitioner. 
         [0062]    In certain embodiments, the individual in need of diagnosis presents with cancer of unknown primary. In some embodiments, diagnosis of the individual is the determination of the primary source of a metastatic cancer. 
         [0063]    In certain embodiments, a method of diagnosis of a disease or condition in an individual further includes a step of providing to a medical practitioner a probability P related   i  that the sample data set is related to one of the different diseases or conditions represented by the plurality of data sets of measurements. 
         [0064]    In certain embodiments, the calculation of P related   i  includes the following steps: i) determining a plurality of nearest neighbors of the sample data set with respect to the data sets of measurements representing a plurality of different diseases or conditions; and ii) determining if the plurality of nearest neighbors so calculated all represent the same disease or conditions. As used herein, “nearest neighbor” and terms of like import refer to the data sets of measurements representing a plurality of diseases or conditions which are most similar to the sample data set obtained from an individual in need of diagnosis. In this context, similarity may be assessed by calculation of the Euclidean distance as described herein. In some embodiments, similarity may be assessed by calculation of the Mahalanobis distance, Hamming distance, or Chebychev distance. Thus, if a rank ordering of data set of measurements were constructed using the Euclidean distance, for example without limitation, with respect to the sample data set obtained from an individual in need of diagnosis as a metric for ranking, the nearest neighbors would contiguously occupy the rank ordering with the lowest Euclidean distances. The number of nearest neighbors can be any positive integer less than or equal to the number of data sets of measurements representing a plurality of diseases or conditions, for example 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, or even more. Preferably, the number of nearest neighbors is 2, 3 or 4, more preferably 3. 
         [0065]    In certain embodiments, when each of the plurality of nearest neighbors represents the same disease or condition, P related   i  is assigned a value of 1, corresponding to 100% probability that the sample data set obtained from the individual in need of diagnosis is similar in gene expression profile to data sets obtained from tissue having the disease or condition of the nearest neighbors. 
         [0066]    In certain embodiments, when the plurality of nearest neighbors do not each represent the same disease or condition, P related   i  is calculated by evaluating a probability P cluster   i  and equating P related   i  with P cluster   i . 
         [0067]    In certain embodiments, P cluster   i  is calculated by evaluating the expression

         [0000]    for one or more of the diseases or conditions represented in the plurality of nearest neighbors calculated as described herein, wherein in Eqn. (2) d j  is the Euclidian distance between the sample data set obtained from a sample from the individual in need of diagnosis and the closest cluster center of T clusters obtaining from a clustering of the distinct labeling sets representing the disease or condition represented in the plurality of nearest neighbors, and d p  is the Euclidean distance between the sample data set and any of the T cluster centers. 
         [0068]    As used herein, “clustering of the distinct labeling sets” refers to a clustering procedure wherein data sets representing the same disease or condition are clustered. For example without limitation, if the disease or condition were melanoma, then the clustering of the distinct labeling set would be over all data sets representing melanoma. Using methodology well known in the art, clustering of the distinct labeling set can be initiated for example by a hierarchical clustering, wherein the similarity, as measured by for example Euclidean distance between each pair of training samples is calculated. All samples representing a specific disease or condition are then grouped into a binary hierarchical tree using the method of simple linkage, well known in the art. The resulting hierarchical tree is then cut into clusters using an inconsistency coefficient, which as known in the art characterizes each link in a cluster tree by comparing its length with the average length of other links at the same level of hierarchy. The higher the value of the inconsistency coefficient, the less similar the objects connected by the link. The inconsistency coefficient criterion can assume any real value, preferably 1.0. After the cutting of clusters using an inconsistency coefficient, all single-sample clusters are removed. A cluster center is then defined for each remaining cluster, which cluster center has in each dimension the arithmetic mean of the corresponding dimensions of the training samples included within the cluster. Accordingly, the sum in Eqn. (2) is over all training sample clusters except single-sample clusters, with the exception that for diseases or conditions (e.g., tissues having a histologically certified cancer) which have multiple clusters, only the closest such cluster center is used in the sum of Eqn. (2). 
         [0069]    In embodiments of the invention provided herein, at least one secondary SOM displays the sample data set with respect to a distinct labeling set, wherein the distinct labeling set represents a disease or condition. An idealized secondary SOM is shown in  FIG. 2 . In  FIG. 2 , the map cell representing the sample data set obtained from a sample from an individual in need of diagnosis is displayed as a solid hexagon in the upper left corner. In this idealized figure, 17 additional map cells are highlighted which correspond to 17 different data sets of measurement arising from 17 unique training samples. These 17 training samples have been classified into 3 clusters, having diagonal stripes, horizontal stripes, and solid gray highlighting in order of Euclidean distance from the map cell representing the sample data set. 
         [0070]    In certain embodiments, when the plurality of nearest neighbors do not each represent the same disease or condition, P related   i  is calculated by evaluating a probability P tissue   i  and equated P related   i  with P tissue   i .

         [0000]    for one or more of the diseases or conditions represented in the plurality of nearest neighbors calculated as described herein, wherein in Eqn. (3) d k  is the Euclidian distance between the sample data set obtained from a sample from the individual in need of diagnosis and the center of a distinct labeling set representing a disease or condition, and d q  is the Euclidean distance between the sample data set and any of the U centers of the distinct labeling set representing the disease or condition. For example without limitation, if a specific disease or condition is associated with a specific tissue, and if a particular secondary SOM displays one of the nearest neighbors found in the procedure described above (i.e., one of the nearest neighbors is found in the tissue type of the specific disease or condition), then d q  is the Euclidean distance between the sample data set and the center of each cluster found within the particular secondary SOM. 
         [0072]    In certain embodiments, when the plurality of nearest neighbors do not each represent the same disease or condition, P related   i  is calculated by evaluating probabilities P cluster   i  and P tissue   i  as described above, and further calculating the probability

         [0000]    wherein α+β=1. The proportionality factors α and β can be optimized, for example without limitation, by evaluating the prediction of histologically certified test samples. In certain embodiments, the histologically certified test samples do not form any of the samples used for training the primary SOM. In certain embodiments, α=0.3 and β=0.7. 
         [0073]    In certain embodiments, the method for constructing a SOM useful in the diagnosis of an individual suffering from a disease or condition employs the method described herein for construction of a primary SOM, and the formation of at least one secondary SOM employs methods described herein. 
         [0074]    In certain embodiments, in the method for constructing a SOM useful in the diagnosis of an individual suffering from a disease or condition, the sample data and data sets of measurements representing a plurality of different diseases or conditions are data vectors of scalars, wherein the scalars are continuous or discrete. In some embodiments, the dimensionality of these data vectors is greater than 2. In some embodiments, the dimensionality of these data vectors is greater than 20. In some embodiments, the dimensionality of these data vectors is at least 29. In some embodiments, the dimensionality of these data vectors is 29. In some embodiments, a plurality of secondary SOMs, each using a different distinct labeling set, are formed. 
       EXAMPLES 
     Diagnostic for Cancer of Unknown Primary 
       [0075]    The expression levels of 87 target genes (Table 2) and 5 housekeeping genes (Table 3) were collected for 221 histologically certified tumor tissue samples, including 36 breast cancer, 32 colorectal cancer, 11 kinase cancer, 14 melanoma cancer, 30 non-small cell lung cancer, 33 ovary cancer, 24 pancreas cancer, 20 prostate cancer, 12 stomach cancer, and 9 small cell lung cancer tissue samples. Gene expression levels were determined by PCR as described herein, which employed the forward and reverse primers and probes tabulated in Table 4. 
         [0076]    The expression levels of 87 target genes from all samples were each normalized by subtracting from each of these values the average expression levels of the 5 housekeeping genes for each sample, and further subtracting the average gene expression level for each gene representing all samples. The “average gene expression level” is the average expression level across all 221 samples for one gene. After normalization, a step-wise logistic regression was conducted to find the minimum set of genes that contribute a model to predict each tumor tissue type. The minimum set of genes for the 10 tumor tissue types were then combined, which resulted in 29 unique genes to be used in the diagnostic procedure, listed as follows by GenBank® locus: AA782845, AB038160, AF133587, AF301598, A1309080, A1804745, AI985118, AK027147, AK054605, AW291189, AW473119, AY033998, BC001293, BC001639, BC002551, BC004331, BC006537, BC009084, BC010626, BC012926, BC013117, BC015754, M95585, NM — 004062, NM — 004063, NM — 019894, NM — 033229, R45389, and X69699.

         [0077]    A primary SOM was constructed by the methods described herein using the 29 gene set normalized gene expression data described above. Additionally, a metastatic site of an individual in need of diagnosis was biopsied, and the gene expression data obtained therefrom (i.e., sample data set) was used with the primary SOM to form various secondary SOMs as shown in  FIG. 3 . In  FIG. 3 , the map cell in each secondary SOM most similar to the gene expression of the individual needing diagnosis is indicated (i.e., solid black filled hexagon). In this case, the 3 nearest neighbors (i.e., individual tissue samples with lowest Euclidean distance) of the sample data set belong to two different tissue types, colorectal and stomach. Accordingly, the probability of origin of the cancer of the metastatic site was calculated using Eqn. (4). In this example, the sample is predicted to be colorectal cancer with a probability of 81%, and stomach with a probability of 8%, using α=0.3 and β=0.7. 
       Therapy Response Profiling 
       [0078]    The invention provides methods of therapy response profiling using the methods of SOM construction and display as described herein. As used herein, “therapy response profile” refers to the pattern of expression of a group of genes of a particular tissue type in a particular disease or condition, which pattern is labeled with a distinct labeling set according to the response of the disease or condition to a particular agent or therapeutic regimen. Therapy response profiling can be used to determine if a particular disease or condition will be susceptible to a particular agent or therapeutic regimen. 
         [0079]    Thus, gene expression levels of a plurality of samples of tissues having a known disease or condition can be collected and used to construct a primary SOM by the methods described herein. The results of subsequent therapeutic intervention (e.g., administration of a particular drug) in each case can then be used to construct a distinct labeling set which characterizes the efficacy of such therapeutic interventions. For example, if a particular disease or condition does not respond to a particular agent or therapeutic regimen, the distinct label for the disease or condition to the agent or therapeutic regimen would be for example “non-responsive.” Alternatively, if a particular disease or condition responds very well to a particular agent or therapeutic regimen, the distinct label for the disease or condition would be labeled “highly responsive.” Intermediate states of response (e.g., “low response,” “intermediate response” and the like) may be employed in the construction of the distinct labeling sets. 
         [0080]    When a sample from a subject suffering from the disease or condition used to train the primary SOM is analyzed for gene expression levels, the gene expression pattern so obtained can be used to form a plurality of secondary SOMs, each having a different distinct labeling set, wherein each distinct labeling set characterizes a particular therapeutic regimen. Then, by inspection of the distinct labeling set of each secondary SOM, a prediction can be drawn on the susceptibility of the underlying disease or condition to a particular therapeutic regimen. For example, if the unknown sample mapped near a known sample having a favorable response to a particular drug, then that drug would be indicated for therapeutic intervention for the underlying disease or condition. In one embodiment, the therapy response profile may be applied to cancer as the disease or condition. 
       Therapy Response Information 
       [0081]    The invention provides methods of providing therapy response information using the methods of SOM construction and display as described herein. As used herein, “therapy response information” refers to annotation describing the historic result of therapeutic intervention in a disease or condition of one or more samples used to provide the plurality of data sets of measurements used to construct a primary SOM. Examples of therapy response information include previous therapeutic regimens (e.g., drugs administered and the like) and responses thereto. In some embodiments, after a map cell in a primary or second SOM is picked, therapy response information associated with the picked map cell, and optionally associated with nearby map cells, is displayed. Thus, by picking the map cell in a primary or secondary SOM representing the individual in need of diagnosis, the clinician is provided with information on the efficacy of various drugs and other therapeutic regimens with respect to the underlying disease or condition. 
       Autoimmune Disorder Diagnosis 
       [0082]    The invention provides methods for diagnosis of autoimmune disorders using the methods of SOM construction and display as described herein. Autoimmune disorders occur when the normal control processes for differentiating self from non-self are disrupted. Such disorders result in a variety of conditions, including destruction of one or more types of body tissues, abnormal growth of an organ, or changes in organ function. Examples of autoimmune disorders include without limitation Hashimoto&#39;s thyroiditis, pernicious anemia, Addison&#39;s disease, type I diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, dermatomyositis, Sjorgren&#39;s syndrome, lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, Reiter&#39;s syndrome, Grave&#39;s disease, and celiac disease. 
         [0083]    In one embodiment, the expression levels of genes associated with a plurality of autoimmune disorders could be obtained by methods described herein, which gene expression levels could then be used to construct a primary SOM. Such genes may include, for example, genes encoding MHC (i.e., major histocompatibility complex) antigen (Shirai, Tohoku  J. Exp. Med.,  1994, 173:133-40). In this case, the distinct labeling sets as described herein corresponds to each specific autoimmune disease. One or more secondary SOMs could be formed using the gene expression levels of an individual suspected of suffering from an autoimmune disorder. Visualization of one or more of the secondary SOMs then provides assistance in the diagnosis of a specific autoimmune disease by methods described herein.
