  • Probe for diagnosis of marfan syndrome and a method for screening using the probe
    Publication number: 20100209923
    Abstract: The purpose of this invention is to provide a probe for diagnosis of Marfan syndrome, which enables early diagnosis of Marfan syndrome, and to provide a method for screening using said probe. The invention is a probe for a Marfan Syndrome characterized by using a nucleic acid comprising following (a) or (b); (a) a nucleic acid comprising a base sequence represented by base numbers 1-180000 shown in SEQ ID No. 1 of the sequence listing, or (b) a nucleic acid in which a part of the base sequence of said base numbers 1-180000 is deleted, substituted or added, and having 80% homology with said base sequence.
