Enhancing validation of case-control omics signatures through "minimalist" single-subject analysis (N-of-1 trials): proof of concept in sepsis.
To evaluate if a single-subject study (S3) design, utilizing paired transcriptome samples from the same patient (eg, "sepsis" vs "recovered"), can replicate transcriptomic signatures from small case-control studies, addressing challenges in patient accrual for rare or sub-stratified diseases.
