Title:
MARKER GENE FOR MALIGNANT BRAIN TUMOR AND USE THEREOF
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/034603
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed are a marker gene which can serve as an indicator of malignant brain tumor and use of the marker gene. A brain tumor marker gene having any one of the nucleotide sequences depicted in SEQ ID NOs:1-17; a brain tumor marker protein having a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence depicted in any one of SEQ ID NOs:18-34; a method for the diagnosis of malignant brain tumor using the expression of the marker gene or marker protein as an indiator; a method for the screening of a substance capable of inhibiting the expression of the marker gene or marker protein; and a kit for the diagnosis of malignant brain tumor utilizing the marker gene or marker protein.
