Glycans influence the physical properties of proteins as well as their biological functions. Alteration in glycosylation is observed in many human diseases.Defining genetic factors, altering glycosylation, can provide a basis for novel approaches to diagnostic and pharmaceutical applications. Predictionof IgG N-glycome from total plasma N-Glycome (TPNG) will allow to increase the power of genetic analysisof tissue specific glycosylation processes.
