Methods of diagnosing or monitoring an autoimmune or chronic inflammatory disease, particularly SLE in a patient by detecting the expression level of one or more genes or surrogates derived therefrom in the patient are described. Diagnostic oligonucleotides for diagnosing or monitoring chronic inflammatory disease, particularly SLE infection and kits or systems containing the same are also described.

Methods and compositions for diagnosing or monitoring autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases

Methods of diagnosing or monitoring transplant rejection or cytomegalovirus infection in a patient by detecting the expression level of one or more genes or surrogates derived therefrom in the patient are described. Diagnostic oligonucleotides for diagnosing or monitoring transplant rejection or cytomegalovirus infection and kits or systems containing the same are also described.

Methods and compositions for diagnosing and monitoring transplant rejection

Methods of diagnosing or monitoring transplant rejection, particularly cardiac transplant rejection, in a patient by detecting the expression level of one or more genes in a patient, are described. Diagnostic oligonucleotides for diagnosing or monitoring transplant rejection, particularly cardiac transplant rejection and kits or systems containing the same are also described.

Methods of diagnosing or monitoring autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases, particularly systemic lupus erythematosis and rheumatoid arthritis, in a patient by detecting the expression level of one or more genes in a patient, are described. Diagnostic oligonucleotides for diagnosing or monitoring autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases, particularly systemic lupus erythematosis and rheumatoid arthritis and kits or systems containing the same are also described.

Methods and compositions for diagnosing and monitoring auto immune and chronic inflammatory diseases

Described herein is a system for monitoring gene expression for diagnosing and monitoring inflammation disorders, and for monitoring gene expression in inflammation disorders in response to a particular drug treatment regimen. This system for detecting nucleic acid expression in a body fluid uses an isolated polynucleotide to detect expression of a nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 5; SEQ ID NO:11; SEQ ID NO:17; and SEQ ID NO: 23. These nucleic acids are differentially expressed in body fluid in an individual with a disease criterion for a disease as listed in Table 1 as compared to an individual without the disease criterion.

Genes useful for diagnosing and monitoring inflammation related disorders

Methods of diagnosing or monitoring auto immune and chronic inflammatory diseases, particularly systemic lupus erythematosis and rheumatoid arthritis, in a patient by detecting the expression level of one or more genes in a patient, are described. Diagnostic oligonucleotides for diagnosing or monitoring auto immune and chronic inflammatory diseases, particularly systemic lupus erythematosis and rheumatoid arthritis and kits or systems containing the same are also described.
