Title: Use of 14-3-3.zeta. expression for diagnosis of schizophrenia
Inventor: SCHWARZ QUENTEN PHILIP
IPC: G01N33/50
Filed: 2012-09-21
Abstract: The present invention provides a method of screening a mammal for the onset or predisposition to the onset of a neuropsychiatric disorder. More particularly, the present invention provides a method of screening a mammal for the onset or predisposition to the onset of schizophrenia by screening for a decrease in the functional level of protein 14-3-3?. In a related aspect, the present invention also provides a means of monitoring a patient diagnosed with a neuropsychiatric disorder, such as schizophrenia, by screening for changes to functional levels of protein 14-3-3?. This may be useful, for example, in the context of evaluating the effectiveness of a prophylactic or therapeutic treatment regime or otherwise monitoring the impact of physiological or metabolic changes which may occur in a patient. The method of the present invention is useful in a wide range of applications including, inter alia, providing a means of identifying mammals susceptible to the onset of a neuropsychiatric condition, such as a condition characterised by one or more symptoms of schizophrenia, thereby enabling the implementation of prophylactic or early therapeutic intervention in an effort to either minimise or prevent the onset of the condition. It also provides a means of confirming diagnoses which would otherwise be based solely on an assessment of positive and negative symptoms.

A set of templates (e.g., UniViews) (220) is created to query the data sources (130). Each UniView (220) contains a specific question for a specific dimension designed for a specific data source (172). UniViews query (900) the database they are associated with by using the data access mechanism (910) of the associated database. A  central server (120) coordinates the system and facilitates use of the system through an interface (e.g., the UniViewer) (150). The UniViewer (150) allows a user to query the data sources by identifying an industry business context dimension, a dimension instance and at least one UniView (220). Multiple UniViews (220) can be combined, cached and saved to facilitate complex queries.
