GFAP (Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein) - Diagnostic Marker

🔬 Protein Info
Gene Symbolent-gene-8c4b5215
Blood GFAPModerately elevated in PD
Diagnostic accuracyAUC 0.78-0.85 for AD vs controls
Prognostic valueHigher levels predict faster cognitive decline
Detects earlyElevated CSF GFAP detectable years before clinical symptoms
Differentiates synucleinopathiesHigher in MSA than PD (AUC 0.82)
Progression markerLevels correlate with disease severity (UPDRS)
CSF GFAPIntermediate elevation between PD and MSA
PatternSimilar to PSP with moderate elevations (40-60 ng/mL in CSF)
Differential diagnosisHelps distinguish from AD and DLB
Astrocytic plaquesCBD-specific pathology correlates with GFAP
PSP-RS correlationHigher levels correlate with greater clinical severity
Diagnostic utilityDifferentiates PSP from PD (AUC 0.82)
Midbrain atrophyGFAP correlates with imaging measures
PSP Rating Scale (PSP-RS)Positive correlation with CSF GFAP
UPDRS (PD)Levels associate with motor severity
