The present invention relates to a method for diagnosing panic disorder, said method being based on the determination of the class of polymorphism of the short tandem repeat (STR) complex in the upstream region of human cholecystokinin gene. The polymorphic DNA comprises a DNA sequence, having a general formula (1):wherein X denotes a DNA sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, Y denotes a DNA sequence of SEQ ID NO:2 and each of n1, n2, n3, n4, n5 and n6 denotes independently 0 or a positive integral number, whereby said DNA ranging from 363 to 399 base pairs in length. The invention also relates to an assay kit used for implementing said method.
