The Human Genome Project has been one of the great scientific
pursuits of the 21rst century. One aspect of this Project is to understand the
role of functional and dysfunctional (pathologic) “elements” in
the genome as to predispositions and causation of disease. Concepts are changing
and discoveries are being made with increasing frequency.
Preventive and interventional clinical trials and therapies will be one of the
ultimate “deliverables” of the Human Genome Project. To facilitate
global implementation of new discoveries and concepts of the Human Genome Project
to real patients, HUMENCODE ® is medical services provided by licensed physicians
who practice preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic healthcare based upon “evidence”
of benefit from the Human Genome Project. Medical services include routine laboratory
testing of blood, body fluid and tissue samples as well as sophisticated tumor
markers such as: (1) ALK gene rearrangements for Non-small cell lung cancer
and anaplastic large cell lymphoma, (2) Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) for liver cancer
and germ cell tumors, (3) BCR-ABL fusion gene for Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia,
(4) CA-125 for ovarian cancer, (5) Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) for colorectal
and breast cancer, (6) Estrogen receptor (ER)/progesterone receptor (PR) for
breast cancer, (7) HER2/neu for breast, esophageal and gastric cancer, (8) KRAS
mutation analysis for colorectal cancer and non-small cell lung cancer, and
(9) KIT for gastro-intestinal and mucosal melanoma. New tests will be added
when validated to be clinically useful in patient care and genetic counseling
of family members.
