On 12 January 2018, the Japan Patent Office issued the Japanese Patent number P6271636 titled “BARD1 isoforms in lung and colorectal cancer and use thereof”.
This patent family protects the sequence of various BARD1 isoforms specific to lung and colorectal cancer, a method for detecting the presence of the specific BARD1 isoforms, and a method for treating and/or preventing lung cancer and colorectal cancer.
