GENES EXPRESSED IN MENTAL ILLNESS AND MOOD DISORDERS

摘要

The present invention relates to a composition comprising a plurality of cDNA molecules for use in methods of detecting changes in expression of genes encoding proteins that are associated with mental illnesses and which are differentially expressed in patients with mental illnesses, such as bipolar I disorder, bipolar II disorder, unipolar disorder, schizophrenia, attention deficit hyperactive disorders, obsessive compulsive disorders, anxiety disorders or other related mood disorders. The composition and the cDNA molecules may be used in their entirety or in part as to diagnose, to stage, to treat, and/or to monitor the treatment of a subject with mental illness.

主权项

1. A composition comprising a plurality of cDNA molecules, wherein the plurality of cDNA molecules consists of two or more cDNA molecules selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs:1-50, wherein one or more of SEQ ID NOs:1-50 may be substituted for by the complement of said cDNA molecule.
