Transcriptome profiles of liver biopsy tissues from sever alcoholic hepatitis patients (validation cohort, Brussels)

Corticosteroids are the current standard of care to improve short_term mortality in severe alcoholic hepatitis (AH), although nearly 40% of the patients do not respond and accurate pre_treatment predictors are lacking. We developed 123_gene prognostic score based on molecular and clinical variables before initiation of corticosteroids. Furthermore, The gene signature was implemented in an FDA_approved platform (NanoString), and verified for technical validity and prognostic capability. Here we demonstrated that a Nanostring_based gene expressoin risk classificatoin is useful to predict mortality in patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis who were treated by corticosteroid
