METHODS FOR DETERMINING INDIVIDUAL RADIOSENSITIVITY
PROCEDES DE DETERMINATION DE LA RADIOSENSIBILITE INDIVIDUELLE
Résumé
The present invention relates to the radiotherapy field. In particular, the invention relates to an in vitro method for determining the individual radiosensitivity of a patient. The inventors have in fact identified an individual-radiosensitivity-specific constitutional transcriptomic signature that makes it possible to assess whether a patient is radiosensitive or radiotolerant. The method according to the invention therefore comprises a step of measuring, in a biological sample obtained from a patient, the expression level of at least one gene from the group of 10 genes constituting this signature, namely KLF11, MIR4482, MT-TK, NEK1, PSPHP1, RNU5B-1, RNU6ATAC, RP11-159D12.8, STRN3 and TDG. The present invention makes it possible in particular to adapt the treatments of patients according to their radiosensitivity.
