The present inventors have found that the deoxyhypusin-synthase (DHPS) gene, which is conventionally reported in relation to prostate cancer and cervical cancer, is surprisingly well associated with atherosclerosis and digestive system cancer, The present invention has been completed. Specifically, the present invention relates to a method for detecting the expression of a deoxyhyupuþin synthetase gene in a test sample, preferably a blood specimen, in the test sample, and determining the degree of arteriosclerosis and digestion And to provide a method of detecting arteriosclerosis and digestive system cancer which detects a mechanical cancer. |
