<p>Disclosed is a method for detecting inflammatory bowel diseases, particularly ulcerative colitis, employing a component contained in feces as an indicator. Specifically disclosed is a method for detecting ulcerative colitis using a marker gene for ulcerative colitis, which comprises the steps of (A) extracting RNA contained in feces collected from a subject, (B) measuring the quantity of RNA derived from the marker gene in the RNA obtained in step (A), and (C) comparing the quantity of the RNA derived from the marker gene as measured in step (B) with a predetermined threshold value, and which is characterized in that the marker gene is at least one gene selected from the group consisting of COX-2 gene, B2M gene, MMP-7 gene, Snail gene, CD45 gene and CEA gene.</p> |
