Title:
MARKER FOR IDIOPATHIC SCOLIOSIS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/164007
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is an idiopathic scoliosis marker that, in a test for biological fluid such as blood, urine, and saliva, and spinal fluid, enables accurate, early detection of an onset of idiopathic scoliosis and prompt, reliable prediction of the condition, and that is capable of serving as a diagnostic or therapeutic marker. This idiopathic scoliosis marker comprises one or more proteins selected from among actin, fibronectin, vitamin-D-binding protein, coagulation factor XIII-A, fibrinogen, complement factor H-associated protein, complement 3, adiponectin, and prothrombin, and can serve as a diagnostic and/or therapeutic marker for idiopathic scoliosis on the basis of the levels of concentration and/or activation of such proteins.
