          Appeal No. 1999-0028                                                        
          Application No. 08/513,610                                                  


          are claims 12 and 16 through 19, and the examiner should take               
          appropriate action relative to the unappealed claims.                       


               Appellant’s invention pertains to a method for diagnosing              
          a patient.  A basic understanding of the invention can be                   
          derived from a reading of exemplary claim 12, a copy of which               
          appears in the APPENDIX to the brief (Paper No. 12).                        


               As evidence of obviousness, the examiner has applied the               
          documents listed below:                                                     


          McMahon et al            4,394,074                     Jul. 19,             
          1983                                                                        
          (McMahon)                                                                   
          Sklar et al              5,098,426                     Mar. 24,             
          1992                                                                        
          (Sklar)                                                                     


               The following rejections are before us for review.                     


               Claims 12 and 16 through 19 stand rejected under 35                    
          U.S.C.  § 112, first paragraph, as being based upon a                       
          disclosure which lacks enablement for treatment steps.                      
                                          2
