Higher serum β2-microglobulin is a predictive biomarker for cognitive impairment in spinal cord injury [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Objective Recent studies have suggested that high levels of β2-microglobulin are linked to cognitive deterioration; however, it is unclear how this connects to spinal cord injury (SCI).

Serum β2-microglobulin is frequently elevated in type 1 Gaucher patients
Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports, 2015 β2-Microglobulin is the major prognostic factor in multiple myeloma, a known comorbidity of Gaucher disease. We evaluated herein serum β2-microglobulin levels of 31 type 1 Gaucher patients; for 8/31 patients, pre- and post-treatment comparisons were made.
