BLOOD MARKER FOR DIAGNOSING MAJOR BLINDNESS-CAUSING EYE DISEASES, AND DIAGNOSTIC METHOD USING SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to a blood marker for diagnosing major blindness-causing eye diseases, and a diagnostic method using same, and, more specifically, to: a marker for diagnosing at least one blindness-causing eye disease selected from a group consisting of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, cataracts, and glaucoma; a composition and a kit for diagnosing blindness-causing eye diseases by using same; and a method for diagnosing blindness-causing eye diseases. A marker for diagnosing blindness-causing eye diseases, a diagnostic composition, a diagnostic kit, or a method for providing information required for diagnosis, of the present invention, are novel immunological diagnostic tools using the plasma of patients, have excellent sensitivity and enable convenient analysis of plasma without using a biopsy, and have been confirmed to show a high diagnostic ability when protein quantitative values of the diagnostic marker and basic clinical information are combined and analyzed, thereby being effectively usable for the diagnosis of blindness-causing eye diseases.
