Provided are methods, test devices, and diagnostic kits for predicting, assessing, and diagnosing the risk of a disease using salivary analysis. The method comprises providing a whole (unfractionated) saliva sample from a subject; contacting an aliquot of said saliva with one or more lectins under conditions that allow said one or more lectins to bind to a lectin~-binding component of said saliva; detecting the amount of bound lectin; and comparing the amount of bound lectin to the amount known to bind a saliva sample from a control patient, to predict the risk of a disease in the subject. Also provided are methods for reducing the risk of a disease and a method for assessing the risk of the disease at a defined level.

La présente invention a trait à des procédés, des dispositifs d'épreuve, et des trousses de diagnostic pour la prédiction, l'évaluation, et le diagnostic du risque d'un maladie utilisant l'analyse salivaire. Le procédé comprend la mise à disposition d'un échantillon de salive entier (non fractionné) en provenance d'un sujet ; la mise en contact d'une partie aliquote de ladite salive avec une ou plusieurs lectines dans des conditions permettant la liaison de ladite une ou desdites plusieurs lectines avec un constituant de liaison à la lectine de ladite salive ; la détection de la quantité de lectine liée ; et la comparaison de la quantité de lectine liée à une quantité connue permettant la liaison d'un échantillon de salive en provenance d'un patient témoin, pour la prédiction du risque d'une maladie chez le sujet. L'invention a également trait à des procédés permettant la réduction du risque d'une maladie et un procédé d'évaluation du risque de la maladie à un niveau déterminé.
