Serum biomarker for progranulin‐associated frontotemporal lobar degeneration
13 Mar 2009
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Mutations that lead to a loss of progranulin (PGRN) explain a considerable portion of the occurrence of frontotemporal lobar degeneration. We tested a biomarker allowing rapid detection of a loss of PGRN. METHODS: We used an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to measure in serum the PGRN protein levels of six affected and eight unaffected carriers from within an extended Belgian founder family...
