An apoptosis regulatory gene is detected in an irradiated-thymic lymphoma cell by a method for detecting such an apoptosis regulatory gene in a low-dose-rate and low-level-irradiated thymic lymphoma cell of a mouse. This has an effect of revealing the function of an apoptosis regulatory gene by means of irradiation and providing a gene profile, by detecting an apoptosis regulatory gene detected in an irradiated-thymic lymphoma cell. The detected apoptosis regulatory gene is used to construct a gene profile that can assess the dose-response relationship of industrial and healthcare workers living in a low level-radiation environment. The detected apoptosis regulatory gene can be used as an index for evaluating the extent of cancer progression and the degree of treatment in patients with thymic lymphoma. The method for detecting such an apoptosis regulatory gene is used to prepare for the prepare a composition for diagnosing thymic lymphoma and a diagnostic kit.
