USE OF TRPC6 MRNA LEVELS IN PERIPHERAL BLOOD CELLS FOR EARLY DETECTION/DIAGNOSIS OF SENILE DEMENTIA

摘要

The invention relates to the use of TRPC6 mRNA levels in peripheral blood cells for the early detection/diagnosis of senile dementia. Specifically, the present invention provides a classic transient receptor potential channel 6 (TRPC6) gene or protein thereof and the use of same in preparing a reagent or test kit for detecting or diagnosing Alzheimer's disease. The present invention further relates to a polypeptide used to prepare a medicament that treats AD, and relates to a composition of said polypeptide.
