NUCLEIC ACID AND METHOD OF EXAMINING CANCERATION USING THE NUCLEIC ACID

摘要

A nucleic acid for examining canceration which is hybridizable with the base sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:1 or a base sequence complementary thereto under stringent conditions. A method of examining canceration which typically comprises: (a) using a nucleic acid hybridizable with the base sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:1 or a base sequence complementary thereto under stringent conditions and measuring the transcriptional level of the nucleic acid in a biological sample; and (b) judging whether or not the transcriptional level of the nucleic acid in the biological sample is significantly lower than that of a normal biological sample employed as a control.
