Patent

CA 2363994

The invention relates to methods for diagnosing a person's susceptibility for having an increased risk for the development of atherosclerosis and a diabetic person's susceptibility for having an increased risk for the development of diabetic retinopathy. The invention relates further to methods for treating persons diagnosed for having increased risk for the development of said diseases. The invention also concerns methods to investigate or screen pharmaceuticals or genetic aims useful in the treatment of said diseases, by using an animal model including a transgenic animal. The methods of the invention are based on Leucine 7 to proline 7 polymorphism in the prepro neuropeptide Y gene.

La présente invention concerne des procédés qui permettent de diagnostiquer la prédisposition d'une personne à présenter un risque accru de développer l'athérosclérose et la prédisposition d'une personne diabétique à présenter un risque accru de développer une rétinopathie diabétique. Cette invention concerne également des procédés de traitement de personnes pour lesquelles on a diagnostiqué un risque accru de développer ces maladies ; ainsi que des procédés permettant de rechercher ou de cribler des composés pharmaceutiques ou des moyens génétiques utiles dans le traitement desdites maladies, au moyen d'un modèle animal y compris d'un animal transgénique. Les procédés de la présente invention sont basés sur le polymorphisme leucine 7-proline 7 dans le gène prépro-neuropeptide.
