SOX18 A biomarker for diagnosing asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease comprising SOX18 and the uses thereof

摘要

The present invention relates to a composition for diagnosing asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which comprises an agent for measuring the level of mRNA of a protein of SOX18 or a gene thereof, and a kit for the diagnosis of asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, A method for providing information for diagnosing obstructive pulmonary disease, and a method for screening for a therapeutic agent for asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The present invention provides a composition for the diagnosis of asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease so that the expression level of the protein or its gene whose expression changes in asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients can be measured and compared to determine the early diagnosis of asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease And disease severity can be significantly predicted or understood. In addition, the composition for diagnosing asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease of the present invention is a simple and effective method for early diagnosis of asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease by enabling non-invasive diagnosis, such as blood or urine test.
