METHOD OF ANALYZING NUCLEIC ACID SPECIFYING GENE SHOWING CHANGE IN EXPRESSION DOSE IN SCHIZOPHRENIA

摘要

An object of the present invention is to contribute to objective diagnosis of schizophrenia with use of gene expression as an index. A method to analyze in a test subject whether expression of nucleic acid(s) defining gene(s) exhibiting altered expression by schizophrenia is statistically included within the range of normal subject or not is provided by the present invention. The present method comprises the step of quantifying the amount of expression of nucleic acid(s) defining gene(s) exhibiting altered expression by schizophrenia and/or protein(s) encoded by said nucleic acid(s) defining gene(s) exhibiting altered expression by schizophrenia.
