Quantitative MRI Uncovers Subtle Cortical Damage in Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein Antibody‐Associated Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To determine whether myelin‐sensitive quantitative MRI reveals microstructural abnormalities in normal‐appearing cortex (NACtx) in myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody–associated disease (MOGAD), indicating that conventional MRI underestimates remission residual cortical injury.

Inebilizumab in AQP4‐Seropositive NMOSD: One‐Year Follow‐Up From a Multicenter, Real‐World Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Real‐world evidence on inebilizumab among neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) patients is lacking. This study assessed inebilizumab among Chinese patients with aquaporin 4 autoantibody (AQP4‐IgG)‐seropositive NMOSD in a real‐world setting.

Nudix hydrolase 15 deficiency and azathioprine toxicity in a liver transplant recipient: A case report [PDF]

JPGN Rep
Abstract Thiopurines, such as azathioprine (AZA), are among the immunosuppressants used to prevent allograft rejection. Thiopurines are metabolized by thiopurine S‐methyltransferase (TPMT) and nudix hydrolase 15 (NUDT15) enzymes, and their functions are highly influenced by genetic variation. We present a 6‐year‐old female with recurrent acute cellular

Frequency and Phenotype of Coexisting Aquaporin‐4 and Autoimmune Encephalitis Autoantibodies

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Among 9457 aquaporin‐4 (AQP4) immunoglobulin G‐positive patients, 2071 underwent autoimmune encephalitis antibody testing and 85 (4%) had coexisting antibodies, most commonly cerebrospinal fluid glial fibrillary acidic protein‐IgG and N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptor‐IgG, or serum high‐titer GAD65‐IgG.

Copine‐4 Paraneoplastic Autoimmune Encephalitis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We characterize copine‐4 (CPNE4)‐IgG and report clinical associations. Among 844 samples with unclassified neural IgGs identified by mouse‐brain indirect immunofluorescence assay over 2 years, 5 samples (serum, 3; CSF, 2) from 3 patients produced a distinctive cerebrum‐restricted synaptic pattern.

Acute-onset Alopecia in a Child: A Surrogate Marker of Azathioprine-induced Myelotoxicity

Indian Journal of Paediatric Dermatology, 2023
Azathioprine (AZA) is a widely used immunosuppressive which when not monitored cautiously can lead to life-threatening complications like myelotoxicity. In resource-limited countries, acute hair loss starting as early as 2 weeks after drug initiation can
