DIAGNOSIS OF LIVER PATHOLOGY THROUGH ASSESSMENT OF PROTEIN GLYCOSYLATION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods for diagnosing a pathology of the liver in a subject suspected of having such a pathology.SOLUTION: The methods comprise quantitatively detecting glycosylation, and more specifically fucosylation, on proteins in biological fluids, and comparing the detected glycosylation with reference values for the glycosylation of such proteins in healthy or disease states.
