Hello all, Marker enzyme redirects here, I may be wrong but I think they are two slightly different things, as a definition of a marker enzyme is:

An enzyme that is used to identify a specific cell type, cell organelle, or cell component.

The example of flecainide and encainide in the 'Potential disadvantage' section does not clearly explain anything about biomarkers. The example does not explain the effect of flecainide and encainide on biomarkers and heart disease. Rather, the example given is more of a warning against using 'newer' drugs since the side effects may be devastating. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.227.2.252 (talk) 01:37, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just made a change clarifying the difference between predictive, prognostic, and diagnostic biomarkers as it was not very well specified before. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.225.244.179 (talk) 21:17, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding to the article, it can be clearly seen that how biomarkers have been used since long time and improved based on different medical procedures. The classification section of biomarkers is not fully complete it must be provided by more details about specific types and functions for each marker. Also, I think the discovery of molecular biomarkers part is not related to the topic. Overall, the information about the link between biomarkers and diseases was clear and how that help for diagnosis and treatment, it covers most of the disease related and drug related biomarker.

What is the difference between this article and

Should they be merged? — fnielsen (talk) 20:09, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Probably. I will look through the histories of the two pages to see if some rationale for separating them was discussed in the past - sometimes that happens and then articles drift back to cover the same topic again... Jytdog (talk) 20:20, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There are thousands of known biomarkers for the most minute physiological conditions. Does it really make sense to have a list that will either be totally non-exhaustive or incredibly long? --Solobear89 (talk) 21:43, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
