Patent ID: 7655398

Claim:
An in vitro method for detection of carcinoma in an individual comprising: a. obtaining a suspected cancerous biological tissue sample from an individual; b. detecting in said suspected cancerous biological tissue sample obtained from said individual the level of polynucleotides having the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1; c. obtaining a normal control sample of the same type tissue as the suspected cancerous biological tissue but known to be non-cancerous; d. detecting in said normal control sample the level of polynucleotides having the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1; e. comparing said detected level of polynucleotides from said suspected cancerous biological tissue sample to the level of polynucleotides in the normal control sample; and f. in the case that a higher level of polynucleotides having the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 is detected in said suspected cancerous biological tissue sample as compared to said level of polynucleotides in said normal control sample, diagnosing said individual as having a carcinoma.
