AXIN1, STAMBP, ST1A1, CDCP1, and SIRT2 Validated as Myasthenia Gravis Biomarkers: A Comparative Proteomic Study With MS, CIDP, and Controls.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

Myasthenia gravis (MG) lacks disease-specific biomarkers that can support monitoring of disease activity or guide treatment decisions. This study aimed to validate serum inflammatory proteins as MG-specific biomarkers by comparing their specificity to controls and individuals with other autoimmune neurological disorders, including multiple sclerosis (MS) and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP).

Methods

In this multicentre cross-sectional study, serum from 200 acetylcholine receptor antibody seropositive (AChR+) MG patients, 192 matched controls, 93 MS patients, and 51 CIDP patients was analyzed using a 92-plex inflammation panel (Olink PEA).
