Title:
BIOMARKER FOR DIAGNOSIS OF AGING OR AMYOTROPHIA
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/152413
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a novel biomarker for the diagnosis of aging or amyotrophia. Also provided are a method for ascertaining the state of aging or amyotrophia, a method for determining the efficacy of therapeutic or preventive effects against aging or amyotrophia, and a screening method for a therapeutic or preventive agent for aging or amyotrophia. The biomarker is an isolated MuSK protein or an mRNA for secretory MuSK.
