Diagnosis and prognosis of serum Fut8 for epilepsy and refractory epilepsy in children.

ABSTRACT: With adequate serum concentration of antiepileptic drugs, the epilepsy symptoms in many patients still cannot be controlled well. The alteration of glycosyltransferase has obvious influence on the pathogenesis of epilepsy. In this study, we focus on the diagnostic and prognostic value of fucosyltransferase 8 (Fut8) on epilepsy and refractory epilepsy. Serum samples of 199 patients with epilepsy, 59 patients with refractory epilepsy and 22 healthy controls who were diagnosed in Shenzhen Children's hospital from August 2018 to August 2019 were collected. The level of lectins was further analyzed by lectin chip and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The diagnostic value of serum Fut8 for epilepsy and refractory epilepsy was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curve. Finally
