[PROBLEMS] To provide: a gene marker or a protein marker for detecting whether or not an Aurora A inhibitor acts in a living body in an Aurora A-specific manner when the Aurora A inhibitor is administered to the living body; and a method for predicting or diagnosing the pharmacological efficacy of an Aurora A inhibitor by using the gene marker or the protein marker [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] A gene/protein marker for use in the prediction or diagnosis of the pharmacological efficacy of an Aurora A inhibitor, wherein the gene is a gene selected from the group consisting of Aurora B, Histone H3, BIRC5, PRC1, DLG7, TACC3 and KNTC2 or a gene having substantially the same function as that of the gene; and a method for predicting or diagnosing the pharmacological efficacy of an Aurora A inhibitor by using the gene/protein marker. |
