This invention relates to a composition, kit, DNA chip, and use thereof for detecting, diagnosing, and predicting metastasis of kidney cancer and/or for predicting the prognosis for kidney cancer, comprising one or a plurality of polynucleotides selected from the group consisting of polynucleotides, mutants thereof or fragments thereof, the expression levels of which vary in kidney cancer cells from a patient with a poor prognosis when compared with that in kidney cancer cells from a patient with a good prognosis; or antibodies or fragments thereof that bind specifically to polypeptides, mutants thereof or fragments thereof, the expression levels of which vary in the similar manner.
本发明涉及一种用于检测、诊断和预测肾癌转移和/或预测肾癌预后的组合物、试剂盒、DNA 芯片及其用途,该组合物、试剂盒、DNA 芯片由一种或多种多核苷酸组成,这些多核苷酸选自由多核苷酸、其突变体或其片段组成的组,其在预后不良患者的肾癌细胞中的表达水平与在预后良好患者的肾癌细胞中的表达水平相比有所不同;或与多肽、其突变体或其片段特异性结合的抗体或其片段,其表达水平以类似方式变化。
