  • Patent number: 11531023
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a biomarker for diagnosis of overactive bladder (OAB) disease, and a method for screening a drug using the biomarker. The markers described in the present invention can effectively detect or diagnose the onset of OAB by distinguishing them from normal populations. In particular, OAB-specific protein markers released into urine enable simple and rapid OAB diagnosis in a non-invasive manner. In addition, by selecting an agent that changes, particularly normalizes the expression and activity of the markers selected in the present invention, more effective preventative or therapeutic agents of OAB disease can be screened.
