GENETIC MARKERS FOR MEMORY LOSS

摘要

The present invention relates to methods of determining if a subject has an increased risk of suffering from memory impairment. The methods comprise analyzing the gene expression profile from peripheral blood leukocytes taken from the subject and comparing the value of the subject's gene expression profile with the value of a normal gene expression profile. A change in the value of the subject's gene expression profile, above or below normal values is indicative that the subject has an increased risk of suffering from memory impairment compared to a normal individual.
