Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a critical body fluid to examine in attempts to discover potential biomarkers for neuroinflammatory and other disorders of the central nervous system (CNS). Serum and/or plasma cytokine levels have been associated with a variety of inflammatory conditions, and some have been shown to be actionable therapeutic targets. Less is known, however, about cytokine levels in CSF.

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) may be the best hope for minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment monitoring of central nervous system (CNS) malignancies. Discovery/validation of cell-free nucleic acid and protein biomarkers has the potential to revolutionize CNS cancer care, paving the way for presurgical evaluation, earlier detection of recurrence, and the selection of targeted therapies. While detection of mutations, changes in RNA and miRNA expression, epigenetic alterations, and elevations of protein levels have been detected in the CSF of patients with CNS tumors, most of these biomarkers remain unvalidated.

Objective: Several regional variants of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) have been proposed in western countries, but other variants remain unclear, especially among mildly disabled cases. The aim of this study was to identify unvalidated GBS phenotypes among Japanese patients with mild GBS.

Methods: Retrospective study of a cohort of patients at a University Hospital in Japan.
