Methods are described for identifying CDI patients as well as CDI patients at risk for recurrence. Embodiments include: (1) flow cytometry of circulating peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) to phenotype for the less efficient immunoglobulin response to bacterial toxins and surface antigens that characterizes patients who will become recurrent; (2) stratification by means of complete blood count (CBC) using a Coulter counter to detect the differences in lower angle light scatter (LAL), which has a larger range in the recurrent population; and (3) stratification by means of complete blood count (CBC) using a Coulter counter to detect the lower axial light loss (AL2) exhibited in recurrent patients. |

The disclosure provides a correlation between the expression level of the miR-193a gene, which can be regulated by its methylation status, and both tumorigenesis of and the resistance of a cancer cell to a pyrimidine antimetabolite (5-FU) based chemotherapy. In addition to the methylation status and the expression of miR-193a, its downstream genes, such as E2F1, SRSF2, and apoptotic genes such as caspase 2, are also involved and can serve as useful markers for cancer therapy prognosis and for therapy selection. |
