Patent ID: 7250258

Claim:
A method for determining whether an individual has a galantamine response marker I, a galantamine response marker II, or a galantamine response marker III in said individual's cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) gene, the method comprising: determining whether the individual has zero copies, one copy, or two copies of any of (a) haplotype (1), (b) a linked haplotype for haplotype (1), and (c) a substitute haplotype for haplotype (1), wherein haplotype (1) has a G at polymorphic sites (PSs) 3 and 4 of the CDK5 gene (SEQ ID NO:1), and wherein polymorphic site (PS) 3 is at nucleotide position 4808 and PS4 is at nucleotide position 5284 of SEQ ID NO:1, wherein the individual has a galantamine response marker I if the individual has zero copies of any of (a) said haplotype (1), (b) said linked haplotype for haplotype (1), and (c) said substitute haplotype for haplotype (1), the individual has a galantamine response marker II if the individual has one copy of any of (a) said haplotype (1), (b) said linked haplotype for haplotype (1), and (c) said substitute haplotype for haplotype (1), and the individual has a galantamine response marker III if the individual has two copies of any of (a) said haplotype (1), (b) said linked haplotype for haplotype (1), and (c) said substitute haplotype for haplotype (1).
