UQCRH, THE MARKERS FOR DIAGNOSING HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA AND PREDICTING SURVIVAL PERIOD OF A HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA PATIENT, A KIT AND PREDICTION FOR PREDICTING SURVIVAL PERIOD OF A HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA PATIENT USING THE MARKER

摘要

PURPOSE: A composition for detecting a marker for diagnosing liver cancer, containing an agent measuring UQCRH(ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase hinge protein) expression level is provided to early diagnose liver cancer and to predict life time of a patient after surgery. CONSTITUTION: A composition for detecting a marker for diagnosing liver cancer contains an agent measuring UQCRG gene mRNA level or protein level. The agent for measuring mRNA level is a primer pair or probe which specifically binds to UQCRG gene. The agent for measuring protein level is an antibody for UQCRH protein. A kit for diagnosing liver cancer contains the composition.
