ABSTRACT:
Immunosorbents, kits and compositions for diagnosing a central nervous system disorder, particularly paroxysmal cerebral discharges and epilepsy, comprising measuring the concentration of GluR1 or fragment thereof and/or GluR1 antibodies in a biological sample from a human subject. The method is particularly useful for identifying individuals that are at risk for brain related seizures and epilepsy, for distinguishing epilepsy from pseudo-epilepsy and epilepsy-like disorders, for following up after anticonvulsive treatment, and for the adjustment of adequate therapy and doses.
