Evaluating Basigin as a Potential Biomarker of Blood–Brain Barrier Dysfunction in Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy
CSF concentrations of BSG may be related to altered expression at the BBB; the BSG concentrations in CSF may thus serve as a biomarker of BBB function, although a contribution of choroid plexus epithelial BSG cannot be entirely excluded. Independent cohorts are needed to replicate these observations before we can conclude that reduced CSF concentrations of BSG may indicate an alteration of the BBB in patients with CAA.
