Abstract	The neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM-1) plays an important role in cell adhesion and synaptic plasticity. We designed this study to evaluate NCAM-1 as a potential biomarker for epilepsy. We performed a quantitative evaluation of the levels of NCAM-1 in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum and noted differences in patients with epilepsy compared to control subjects. We used sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays to measure NCAM-1 concentrations in CSF and serum samples of 76 epileptic patients (subdivided into the following subgroups: drug-refractory epilepsy, DRE; first-diagnosis epilepsy, FDE; and drug-effective epilepsy, DEE) and 44 control subjects. Our results show that cerebrospinal fluid–NCAM-1 (CSF–NCAM-1) concentrations and NCAM-1 Indices in the epileptic group were lower than in the control group. Both the CSF–NCAM-1 concentration and the NCAM-1 Indices in the drug-refractory epilepsy group were lower than in the drug-effective epilepsy group. These differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). However, serum–NCAM-1 levels were not statistically different when comparing the epilepsy group to the control group (P > 0.05). Our results indicate that CSF–NCAM-1 is a potential biomarker for drug-effective epilepsy and drug-refractory epilepsy.
