Ethnic Specificities of S100B Protein Blood Level in Guadeloupe: Cross-sectional Study in Healthy Subjects

Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de la Guadeloupe

Summary

Numerous studies have demonstrated the significant contribution of S100B blood level measurement in the management of minor to moderate traumatic brain injuries, notably by reducing the number of cranial computed tomography (CT) scans by at least one-third. However, physiological blood concentrations of the S100B protein may be higher in individuals with a Black phenotype compared to those with Asian or, in particular, Caucasian phenotypes. Assessing S100B protein levels in healthy individuals will help confirm the variability of its physiological concentration according to skin phenotype.
