  • Procedure of predicting type 2 diabetes development through analysis of N-glycans attached to the plasma proteins of a healthy person
    Patent number: 11454636
    Abstract: A prediction of type 2 diabetes development through quantitative analysis of N-glycans attached to the plasma proteins of a healthy person, which enables determination of whether the investigated person belongs to a risk group for type 2 diabetes development in the future. Using obtained quantitative percentages of all analyzed N-glycans as input variables of a model F: F(GP1, GP2, . . . , GPX; D, S), where X, D and S are parameters of the model F: X=total number of analyzed N-glycans; D=age of the investigated person; S=sex of the investigated person; male=1, female=0. Obtaining constants of the model F (GP1, GP2, . . . , GPX; D, S) by statistical data processing and modelling from analyzed population. Comparing obtained result F for the investigated person with a statistically determined threshold T, which defines the threshold of increased risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D) development in the future.

  • Method for the analysis of N-glycans attached to immunoglobulin G from human blood plasma and its use
    Patent number: 9910046
    Abstract: The invention discloses a method for the analysis of N-glycans attached to immunoglobulin G (IgG) or IgG N-glycopeptides from human blood plasma in which relative abundance of two or more glycans is determined, out of total six, and for these glycans it is determined that they strongly correlate with age.
