Use of microRNAs or genes as markers for the identification, diagnosis and therapy of individual forms of non-ischemic cardiomyopathies or memory diseases of the heart
The invention relates to the use of certain microRNAs and/or genes, both individually and as a combination of several, in the form of profiles as markers for identifying individual forms of non-ischemic cardiomyopathies or storage diseases of the heart, and to their use in diagnostic systems for identifying individual forms of non-ischemic cardiomyopathies or storage diseases of the heart, which includes at least some of these microRNAs and/or genes. The invention furthermore relates to a method for identifying and differentiating between individual forms of non-ischemic cardiomyopathies or storage diseases of the heart using at least individual ones of these microRNAs and/or genes. The invention further relates to a medicament which contains at least one nucleic acid which includes a sequence which is identical or complementary to the sequence of one of these microRNAs.
