  • Novel centrerosome-associated protein and applications thereof
    Publication number: 20090275024
    Abstract: A method for diagnosing a genetic disease associated with disturbances in mitotic spindle organization or with cell division anomalies or both, which comprises demonstrating a functional alteration of the gene encoding an ASAP protein comprising at least the following steps of: obtaining DNA containing the gene encoding the ASAP protein from a biological sample; bringing said DNA into contact with a probe, and under conditions for hybridization between the DNA and the probe; and detecting the hybrid formed; and wherein the ASAP protein is selected from the group consisting of a human protein having sequence SEQ ID NO:1 and proteins having a sequence exhibiting at least 80% identity or at least 90% similarity with entire SEQ ID NO. 1.

  • Centrosome-associated protein and applications thereof
    Patent number: 7402394
    Abstract: The invention relates to a novel centrosome-associated protein, to the polynucleotide coding for the aforementioned protein and to the applications of said protein and polynucleotide. The overexpression of the inventive protein disrupts the mitotic spindle assembly and leads to aberrant and abortive mitoses.
