BIN1 EXPRESSION AS A MARKER OF SKELETAL MUSCLE MASS AND NEUROLOGICAL CONDITIONS

摘要

Provided are methods for determining skeletal muscle mass in subject. Also provided are methods for diagnosing a neurological condition or disease or a condition or disease associated with reduced skeletal muscle mass in a subject. Further provided are purified antibodies that bind specifically to a BIN1 polypeptide that is expressed specifically in skeletal muscle.
