GENE EXPRESSION PROFILING OF PRIMARY BREAST CARCINOMAS USING ARRAYS OF CANDIDATE GENES

摘要

A method for predicting the sensitivity of tumor cells to an anthracycline-based chemotherapy includes determining the differential expression level of a MYBL2 gene in tumors cells. A polynucleotide library is useful to predict the sensitivity of tumor cells to an anthracycline-based chemotherapy and includes a pool of polynucleotide sequences or subsequences thereof wherein the sequences or subsequences correspond substantially to any of the polynucleotide sequences SEQ ID No: 308, SEQ ID No: 309 and/or SEQ ID No: 310 or the complements thereof.
