Identification of Novel Serum Proteins Associated with Myelination and Cholesterol Transport in Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders by Mass Spectrometry.

Unlabelled: Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) is a demyelinating autoimmune disease affecting the central nervous system causing inflammatory lesions in the optic nerves, spinal cord and other vital areas of CNS. The clinical manifestations include acute transverse myelitis with paraplegia and optic neuritis with impaired vision. In the present study we focussed on comparative expression of serum proteins between NMOSD variants and control.
