Abstract
Gene expression data, in particular gene expression profiles, are created and used in the identification, monitoring and treatment of disease and characterization of biological conditions. Profile data sets are derived from subject samples and include quantitative substantially repeatable measures of a distinct amount of RNA or protein constituent in a panel selected to enable evaluation of a biological condition. Such profile data sets may be used to provide an index indicative of the biological state of a subject, which may be compared to a normative value of the index determined with respect to a relevant population of subjects.
