The amplified luminescent proximity homogeneous assay-linked immunosorbent assay revealed significantly higher serum antibody levels against recombinant KIAA0513 protein in patients with AIS, transient ischemic attack (TIA), DM, CVD, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), CKD and solid cancers, such as esophageal, gastric, colon, lung and breast cancers, compared with healthy donors. The gene discussed is KIAA0513; the disease is obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
