A method of indicating the presence of atherosclerosis (particularly coronary artery atherosclerosis) in a subject is provided, comprising comparing the level of Core 2 GIcNAc-T in a tissue sample from a subject with a reference level determined for the same tissue. A level of Core 2 GIcNAc-T in the tissue sample from a subject that is higher than that of the reference level being indicative that the subject is afflicted with atherosclerosis (particularly coronary artery atherosclerosis - coronary artery disease - CAD). In preferred embodiments, the sample consists of leukocytes and the protein level is determined as the enzymatic activity using radiolabeled UDP-GIcNAc and a Gal.beta.(1 ,3)-GalNAc derivative.

L'invention concerne un procédé permettant d'indiquer la présence de l'athérosclérose (en particulier celle de l'artère coronaire) chez un patient, qui consiste à comparer le niveau de la core 2 ClcNAc-T dans un échantillon de tissu prélevé chez un patient avec un niveau de référence déterminé pour le même tissu. Un niveau de la core 2 ClcNAc-T dans l'échantillon de tissu d'un patient qui est supérieur à celui du niveau de référence indique que le patient concerné souffre de l'athérosclérose (en particulier de l'athérosclérose de l'artère coronaire maladie coronarienne CAD). Dans des modes de réalisation préférés, l'échantillon est constitué de leucocytes et le niveau protéique est déterminé en tant qu'activité enzymatique utilisant UDP-GlcNAc et un dérivé de Gal.beta.(1,3)-GalNAc.
