- Glycans are the ultimate layer of molecular complexity
- The majority of proteins are glycosylated
- Protein glycosylation adds an additional layer of complexity between gene sequence and protein function
- Glycome composition differs significantly between individuals
- Glycans are very complex and their analysis in challenging
- The GlycanAge clock of biological age is a functional effector of inflammation that can be modified by both lifestyle interventions and pharmacotherapy
- Changes of IgG glycome in many diseases resemble ageing
- IgG glycans associate with incident CVD events independently of clinical risk factors
- At least 16 genetic loci are involved in the regulation of the GlycanAge clock
