Everything about Biomarker Medicine totally explained
In medicine, a
biomarker is an indicator of a particular disease state or a particular state of an organism.
An NIH study group committed to the following definition in 1998: "a characteristic that's objectively measured and evaluated as an indicator of normal biologic processes, pathogenic processes, or pharmacologic responses to a therapeutic intervention."
In the past, biomarkers were primarily
physiological indicators such as
blood pressure or
heart rate. More recently,
biomarker is becoming a synonym for
molecular biomarker, such as elevated
prostate specific antigen as a molecular biomarker for
prostate cancer, or using
enzyme assays as
liver function tests. Biomarkers also cover the use of molecular indicators of environmental exposure in
epidemiologic studies such as
human papilloma virus or certain markers of tobacco exposure such as
4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK).
