Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An embodiment according to the present invention provides a kit or device for detection of dementia, and a method for detecting dementia. An embodiment according to the present invention relates to: a kit or device for detection of dementia, including a nucleic acid(s) capable of specifically binding to an miRNA(s) or a complementary strand(s) thereof in a sample from a subject; and a method for detecting dementia, including measuring the miRNA(s) in vitro.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . A method for detecting dementia, comprising measuring expression levels of the polynucleotides of dementia markers: miR-6088 and miR-211-5p in a sample from a subject; and evaluating in vitro whether or not the subject has dementia using the measured expression levels of only miR-6088 and miR-211-5p. 2 . The method according to claim 1 , comprising plugging the gene expression levels of the polynucleotides in the sample from the subject into a discriminant formula capable of discriminating dementia or non-dementia distinctively, wherein the discriminant formula is created by using gene expression levels in samples from subjects known to have dementia and gene expression levels in samples from non-dementia subjects as training samples; and thereby evaluating whether or not the subject has dementia. 3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the expression levels of the target genes in the sample from the subject are measured by using a kit for detection of dementia, comprising nucleic acids capable of specifically binding polynucleotides of dementia markers: or to complementary strands of the polynucleotides. 4 . The method according to claim 1 , the subject is a human. 5 . The method according to claim 1 , the sample is blood, serum, or plasma.
