FIELD: biotechnology.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to biotechnology, namely to markers of hyperthyroidism, and can be used in medicine for diagnostics of hyperthyroidism in cats. Diagnostic technique for hyperthyroidism in cats contains: (a) determination of level of nucleic acid, coding peptide of sodium/iodine symporter in cat with SEQ ID NO: 2, biological sample of cat; and (b) comparison of nucleic acid level with reference level of specified nucleic acid, determined in control cats without hyperthyroidism, where biological sample comprises tissue, cell or biological fluid, contains DNA or RNA. Wherein high level of above nucleic acid in sample of cat in comparison with reference level is diagnostic for hyperthyroidism in cat.
EFFECT: present invention enables more effective diagnosis of hyperthyroidism in cat.
