MMP1 GENE TRANSCRIPTION PRODUCT AS PROGNOSTIC MARKER FOR OVARIAN CANCER AND TEST METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a prognostic marker and kit for ovarian cancer and a method for prognostic prediction.SOLUTION: According to the present invention, there are provided a prognostic marker and kit for ovarian cancer, comprising a transcript of matrix metalloprotease (MMP) 1 gene. There is also provided a method for prognostic prediction of ovarian cancer using the marker or the kit. The method comprises detecting expression level of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 1 gene in a biological sample collected from a subject by detecting an ovarian cancer prognostic marker consisting of a transcript of matrix metalloprotease (MMP) 1 gene to obtain a detection value of the ovarian cancer prognostic marker.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
