More Information
Summary:An SNP(single nucleotide polymorphism) is provided to diagnose disease occurrence and its probability of schizophrenia at an early stage and diagnose and treat schizophrenia. A microarray and a kit are also provided to diagnose presence or risk of schizophrenia. An SNP for diagnosis of schizophrenia comprises a polynucleotide consisting of 8 or more, preferably 8-70 consecutive nucleotides containing a 301st base of rs2765042 polynucleotide of SEQ ID NO:3 in CKB(creatine kinase, brain-specific) gene. A microarray for diagnosis of schizophrenia comprises a polynucleotide consisting of 8 or more consecutive nucleotides, immobilized to a substrate selected from silicon wafer, glass, quartz, metal and plastic, which is coated by an active group selected from amino-silane, poly-L-lysine and aldehyde, a polypeptide encoded thereby or its cDNA(complementary DNA). A kit for diagnosis of schizophrenia contains the microarray.
