Abstract
Disclosed are genetic methods and tools for colon cancer disease classification in disease subtypes, CMS1, CMS2, CMS3, CMS4, as well as improved methods for rapid, more accurate, and more reliably reproducible disease subtype determination. Tailored treatment protocols are also provided, employing the predicted CMS of the subject sample. Genetic sequence binding targets for some or all of these gene panels may be affixed to a solid substrate, and included as part of a screening tool and/or diagnostic kit. The expression levels of the genes may be assessed to provide a genetic signature for a subtype or lack of subtype (CMS1, CMS2, CMS3, CMS4, combination subtype). The methods employ a scoring system, wherein a score is derived from the genetic expression profile/signature of the panel of selected genes, and a qualifying continuous score for each CMS subtype is determined against a predictive threshold for each colon cancer subtype.
