Abstract
A method of determining whether a subject is likely to have a condition includes measuring concentration levels of a plurality of target biomarkers in a sample obtained from the subject; comparing the measured concentration levels to respective reference concentration levels; in the event that the measured concentration level of at least one of the target biomarkers is less than its respective reference concentration level, and the measured concentration level of at least one of the target biomarkers is greater than its respective reference concentration level, providing an indication that the subject is likely to have the condition, and otherwise: providing an indication that the subject is unlikely to have the condition.
