Biomarkers & its Diseases

Disease-related biomarkers give an indication of the probable effect of treatment on patient (risk indicator or predictive biomarkers), if a disease already exists (diagnostic biomarker), or how such a disease may develop in an individual case regardless of the type of treatment (prognostic biomarker). Predictive biomarkers help to assess the most likely response to a particular treatment type, while prognostic markers show the progression of disease with or without treatment, some diseases are:-

• Autoimmune disease
• Alzheimer's disease
• Cardiovascular disease
• Neurological Disorders
• Immunological Disorders
