Methods are disclosed for predicting the efficacy of a drug for treating hypertension in a patient, including: obtaining a sample of cells from the patient; obtaining a gene expression profile from the sample in the absence and presence of in vitro modulation of the cells with specific mediators; and comparing the gene expression profile of the sample with a reference gene expression profile, wherein similarity between the sample expression profile and the reference expression profile predicts the efficacy of the drug for treating hypertension in the patient.
本发明公开了用于预测治疗患者高血压药物疗效的方法,包括:从患者体内获取细胞样本;在体外用特定介质调节细胞的情况下和存在情况下从样本中获取
基因表达谱;以及将样本的
基因表达谱与参考
基因表达谱进行比较,其中样本表达谱与参考表达谱之间的相似性可预测治疗患者高血压药物的疗效。
