COMPOSITION AND KIT FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF MILD COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT, WHICH MEASURE AN EXPRESSION LEVEL OF LIPOCALIN-2, AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING INFORMATION FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF MILD COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT

摘要

The present invention relates to a composition for the diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment, which includes a formulation measuring an mRNA or protein expression level of lipocalin-2 gene, to a kit for the diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment, and to a method for providing information for the diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment using the same. According to the present invention, by using the agent for measuring an mRNA or protein expression level of the lipocalin-2 gene, a patient having mild cognitive impairment can be specifically identified by measuring an expression level of lipocalin-2, which is higher in a group of patients having mild cognitive impairment than in both a normal group and a group of patients having Alzheimer's disease.; In particular, it is possible to distinguish between a group of patients having mild cognitive impairment and a group of patients having Alzheimer's disease
