Longitudinal Assessment of Protein Markers in the Cerebrospinal Fluid of Patients With Central Nervous System Involvement

In the context of adult pathology, research into biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has already identified proteins that are commonly used for the early diagnosis of certain neurodegenerative diseases. However, the lack of data available in the literature on pediatric diseases has limited the use of biomarkers in routine practice in children. Importantly, our group has pioneered the establishment of CSF biomarkers in children (e.g., measurement of interferon alpha in CSF by ultra-sensitive digital ELISA), which will undoubtedly be used in routine clinical practice in the future. In light of these arguments, the establishment of a CSF biobank will have major clinical implications, given the rarity of the diseases treated and the number of patients followed.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients with a neurological condition diagnosed by a physician requiring cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) collection, through:
  • Neurosurgical procedure (EVD, VP shunt, VSG shunt, tumor surgery, spinal surgery with dural opening, ELD);
  • Lumbar puncture (LP).
  • Patients who have (or whose legal guardians, where applicable, have) consented to the storage and reuse of residual biological samples collected during the course of care within the biological collection.

Exclusion criteria

  • Objection by the patient and/or the legal guardian, if the patient is a minor, to participation in the study.

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Longitudinal evolution of protein markers in CSF from patients with central nervous system involvement

    Time frame: 2021 - 2035

Secondary outcomes

  1. Longitudinal changes in inflammatory protein levels in the CSF of patients with post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus

    Time frame: 2021 - 2035

  2. Proteomic characterization of several neuroinflammatory diseases

    Time frame: 2021 - 2035

  3. Identification of biomarkers of severity in children with traumatic brain injury

    Time frame: 2021 - 2035

  4. Comparison of CSF biomarkers with data generated in serum (when available)

    Time frame: 2021 - 2035

    Proteomic analysis by comparing LCS biomarker results with data generated in serum, in order to discover new biomarkers relevant to the pathology under study.
