Patent AT-E401576-T1: [Translated] USE OF A NUCLEAR-RESTRICTED PROTEIN FOR THE DIAGNOSIS AND THERAPY OF ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AND RELATED DEEP NEURODEGENERATION DISORDERS

Published by National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) | U.S. Department of Health & Human Services | Catalog Last Checked: July 31, 2026 at 09:39 PM | Dataset Last Updated: September 06, 2025
The present invention discloses the differential expression of the gene coding for the nuclear restricted protein/brain, NRP/B, in specific brain regions of Alzheimer's disease patients. Based on this finding this invention provides a method for diagnosing or prognosticating a neurodegenerative disease, in particular Alzheimer's disease, in a subject, or for determining whether a subject is at increased risk of developing such a disease. Furthermore, this invention provides therapeutic and prophylactic methods for treating or preventing Alzheimer's disease and related neurodegenerative disorders using a gene coding for a nuclear restricted protein, in particular the nuclear restricted protein/brain, NRP/B. A method of screening for modulating agents of neurodegenerative diseases is also disclosed.
