  • The study analyzed glycan biomarkers in serum to understand their relationship with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) and treatment effects.
  • Significant differences were found in N-glycan levels, particularly lower sialylated N-glycans in CIDP patients compared to healthy controls, while O-glycan levels remained unchanged.
  • Lower sialylated N-glycan levels may indicate therapeutic resistance and could serve as a potential biomarker for CIDP’s pathophysiology.
