CPC C12Q 1/6883 (2013.01) [C12Q 2600/158 (2013.01)] | 3 Claims |
1. A method for analyzing a myocardial infarction-related gene, comprising the steps of:
(i) determining the expression level of a myocardial infarction-related gene in a biological sample from a subject, wherein the myocardial infarction-related gene is RAE1 and the biological sample is monocytes in the blood; and
(ii) comparing the expression level of RAE1 from step (i) to a normal control level of RAE1 in monocytes from a human that has not had MI,
wherein:
determining the expression level of a myocardial infarction-related gene in a biological sample from a subject comprises amplifying a fragment of an RAE1 transcript in the biological sample with the primers SEQ ID NO: 3 and SEQ ID NO: 4 and determining the expression level of RAE1 using chip detection or high throughput sequencing;
an increase in the expression level of RAE1 in the sample from the subject compared to the normal control level indicates that the subject has myocardial infarction;
and the subject is human.
