摘要:
The invention concerns a method for diagnosing Alzheimer disease, consisting in demonstrating one or several mutations in the genomic DNA region regulating the expression of the apolipoprotein E gene, inducing a modification of the apolipoprotein E gene, with respect to a control population or a modification of the expression relative to the alleles of the apolipoprotein E gene.

The present invention pertains to the domain of brain diseases, and provides novel markers and methods for diagnosing a brain alteration in an individual, especially in patients suffering from neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. The present invention also provides tools for evaluating the probability, for an individual, of developing the disease, as well as a target for identifying new drugs for treating neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. In particular, the invention provides a genetic marker based on combination of two single nucleotide polymorphism, at positions −389 and −241 of the ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) gene.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an in vitro method for determining that an individual is at risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, which comprises: —determining whether the individual harbours at least one variant allele of a susceptibility gene selected from the apolipoprotein J gene (APOJ) and the complement component receptor 1 gene (CR 1); —deducing that if the individual harbours at least one variant allele of the APOJ and/or CR1 gene, then the individual is at risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.

摘要:
The invention concerns a Cog47 protein and its polynucleotide, in particular associated with a predisposition to cognitive decline, to a conversion to dementia or to an already existing dementia, and the human S100β gene exhibiting a polymorphism associated with a predisposition to cognitive decline, to a conversion to dementia or to an already existing dementia. The invention also concerns a diagnostic method and a diagnostic kit.
