Title:
METHOD FOR DETERMINING SUSCEPTIBILITY TO AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION, PRIMER PAIR, PROBE, AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION DIAGNOSTIC KIT, THERAPEUTIC AGENT FOR AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION, AND SCREENING METHOD FOR THERAPEUTIC AGENT FOR AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/035861
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
 A method for determining susceptibility to age-related macular degeneration comprising a step for determining the type of the 238th base from the 5'-end to the 3'-end of the LOC389641 gene contained in a sample from a subject. If the type of the aforementioned base is determined to be thymine in the aforementioned step, the subject is determined to be susceptible to age-related macular degeneration, and if the type of the base is determined to be guanine in the step, the subject is determined not to be susceptible to age-related macular degeneration.
