Transferrin allelic variants may cause false positives in the detection of cerebrospinal fluid fistulae.

Clinical chemistry - 1 Jul 1993

Sloman A J, Kelly R H

Abstract excerpt

Variations in either the polypeptide sequence or the carbohydrate moieties of transferrin may result in altered electrophoretic mobility of this molecule. We report a case of an allelic (polypeptide) variant of transferrin with mobility similar to that of the beta 2 (sialic acid-depleted) transferrin found in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and a few other body fluids. Allelic variation and other transferrin anomalies...
