Article Synopsis
- * In a study involving 45 patients, the T790M detection rate was 70.8% using tissue biopsy and only 37.5% with blood biopsy, highlighting a discrepancy in mutation identification.
- * Findings suggest that factors beyond just technological methods, such as clinical features related to circulating tumor DNA, also influence blood biopsy results for the T790M mutation.
Objective: Reliable molecular biomarkers for epilepsy have yet to be identified. The present study aims to evaluate the utility of serum metalloproteinase-3 as a diagnostic biomarker for epilepsy.
Methods: Serum MMP-3 levels were assessed in 227 individuals with epilepsy and 97 healthy control subjects.
Objectives: In this study, we evaluate the utility of serum metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) as a biomarker for the diagnosis of epilepsy.
Methods: We assessed serum MMP-2 levels in 233 epileptic and 97 healthy control subjects. Control subjects had no complaints or signs of neurological disorders for at least 12 months prior to serum collection.
