METHOD OR KIT FOR DETERMINING LUNG CANCER DEVELOPMENT

摘要

Disclosed herein is a method of determining whether a subject having or is at risk of developing lung cancer. The presence of the SNP locus of rs193100333, which corresponds to a mutation on YAP1 protein with a substitution of an arginine to a tryptophan at position 331, indicates the subject has or is at risk of developing lung cancer. Accordingly, also disclosed herein is a kit for facilitating the detection of the SNP locus of rs193100333.

主权项

1. A method of determining whether a subject has or is at risk of developing lung cancer, comprising:
obtaining a biological sample from the subject; extracting DNA from the biological sample; and detecting the presence or absence of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) locus of rs193100333 in the extracted DNA; wherein the presence of the SNP locus of rs193100333 indicates the subject has or is at risk of developing lung cancer.
