METHOD FOR SUPPORTING DIAGNOSIS OF THREE MAJOR NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASES

摘要

To provide a method for supporting diagnosis to rapidly determine whether a subject is affected with any of at least three major neurodegenerative diseases.SOLUTION: The method for supporting diagnosis of the three major neurodegenerative diseases of Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease, and ALS according to the present invention includes: obtaining the mass spectrum of a sample collected from a subject by MALDI/TOF-MS; and determining whether the result for the subject is positive or negative for the three major neurodegenerative diseases on the basis of the respective peak values of the mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) of the thus obtained mass spectrum at m/z1733±1 and m/z2399±1 or the level of a predetermined peak information value derived from the peak values.SELECTED DRAWING: None
