SNP MARKER FOR DIAGNOSIS OF IMMUNE-MEDIATED EPILEPSY, METHOD OF USING THE SAME, AND EXAMINATION KIT FOR IMMUNE-MEDIATED EPILEPSY

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an SNP marker for precisely performing early diagnosis of immune-mediated epilepsy.SOLUTION: The invention provides an SNP marker for diagnosis of immune-mediated epilepsy comprising at least one of the SNP (rs2227982) in exon 5 of the PDCD1 gene and the SNP (rs6705653) in intron 4 of the PDCD1 gene. The immune-mediated epilepsy is, for example, Rasmussen syndrome, epilepsy after encephalitis, Landau-Kleffner syndrome or West syndrome (epilepsia nutans).
