INDIVIDUAL TEST 876
GABA A Receptor Antibodies (IgG)
Indication
Suspicion of autoimmune encephalitis.
Method
Indirect immunofluorescence. The method is not yet validated for clinical laboratory routine diagnostics.
Result
Reported as negative or positive with titer.
Interpretation
Autoantibodies against GABA-A receptor (Gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor) have been reported in patients with autoimmune encephalitis. Typical clinical features include encephalitis with seizures (including status epilepticus), confusion, disorientation, hallucinations, and cognitive dysfunction. Lower titers have also been associated with Stiff person syndrome.
Antibodies against GABA-A receptor are graded as Lower-risk antibodies with a frequency of <30% of underlying cancer and a positive result yields 0 points PNS score, according to Updated Diagnostic Criteria for Paraneoplastic Neurologic Syndromes.

ENSKILD ANALYS 876
GABA A receptor-antikroppar (IgG)
Indikation
Misstanke om autoimmun encefalit.
Metod
Indirekt immunofluorescens. Metoden är ännu inte validerad för klinisk laboratorie rutin diagnostik.
Resultat
Anges som negativ eller positiv med titer.
Tolkning
Autoantikroppar mot GABA-A receptor (Gamma-amino butyric acid type A receptor) har rapporterats hos patienter med autoimmun encefalit. Typiska symptom är krampanfall (inklusive status epileptikus), kognitiv påverkan med desorientering och hallucinationer. Även Stiff person syndrom har rapporterats vid positiv reaktion i låga titer.
Antikropparna riktade mot GABA-A receptor bedöms vara Lower-risk antibodies med en förekomst på <30% för en underliggande cancer och positivitet ger 0 poäng i PNS score enligt Updated Diagnostic Criteria for Paraneoplastic Neurologic Syndromes.
