The present invention relates to a method for diagnosing schizophrenia comprising measuring at least one parameter in a subject, the parameter being selected from the group consisting of (1) a genetic abnormality of glyoxalase I gene, (2) the expression level or activity of glyoxalase I in a biological sample, (3) the amount of a carbonyl-modified protein that is a protein modified with the carbonyl-compound, preferably pentosidine, in a biological sample, and (4) the amount of pyridoxal in a biological sample. The present further relates to a primer, a probe and a reagent for use in said method, as well as an AGE-reader and its use for measuring the amount of carbonyl-modified proteins.
本发明涉及一种诊断精神分裂症的方法,该方法包括测量受试者体内的至少一个参数,该参数选自以下组别:(1)乙二醛酶 I 基因的遗传异常;(2)生物样本中乙二醛酶 I 的表达水平或活性;(3)生物样本中羰基修饰蛋白质的量,该蛋白质是用羰基化合物(最好是喷托西啶)修饰的蛋白质;(4)生物样本中吡哆醛的量。本发明还涉及一种用于上述方法的引物、探针和试剂,以及一种 AGE 读取器及其在测量羰基修饰蛋白质量时的用途。
