Autoimmune Cerebellar Ataxia Panel Test
Comprehensive Neurological Autoimmune Assessment
The Autoimmune Cerebellar Ataxia Panel represents a cutting-edge diagnostic approach for identifying autoimmune causes of cerebellar dysfunction and ataxia. This comprehensive test panel is specifically designed to detect multiple autoimmune antibodies that can target the cerebellum, leading to progressive neurological symptoms that significantly impact quality of life.
What This Test Measures and Detects
Our advanced Autoimmune Cerebellar Ataxia Panel evaluates multiple key biomarkers:
- Yo Antibody Screen with Reflex to Titer and Western Blot: Detects anti-Yo antibodies associated with paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration
- Voltage-Gated Calcium Channel (VGCC) Type P/Q Antibody: Identifies antibodies linked to Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome and cerebellar ataxia
- Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) Antibody (IgA): Screens for gluten sensitivity-related neurological manifestations
- IgA (Immunoglobulin A): Assesses overall immune function and validates tTG antibody results
Who Should Consider This Test
This comprehensive panel is recommended for individuals experiencing:
- Unexplained coordination difficulties and balance problems
- Progressive gait disturbances and unsteady walking
- Involuntary eye movements (nystagmus)
- Speech difficulties including slurred or scanning speech
- Tremors affecting fine motor coordination
- Patients with suspected paraneoplastic neurological syndromes
- Individuals with autoimmune conditions showing neurological symptoms
Clinical Benefits of Testing
Early detection through our Autoimmune Cerebellar Ataxia Panel offers numerous advantages:
- Accurate Diagnosis: Differentiates autoimmune causes from degenerative conditions
- Treatment Guidance: Helps neurologists develop targeted immunotherapy plans
- Cancer Screening: Identifies potential underlying malignancies in paraneoplastic cases
- Prognostic Information: Provides insights into disease progression and treatment response
- Comprehensive Assessment: Multiple antibody testing increases diagnostic sensitivity
Understanding Your Test Results
Your results will be carefully interpreted by our expert neurologists and laboratory specialists:
- Positive Yo Antibodies: May indicate paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration, often associated with gynecological or breast cancers
- Elevated VGCC Antibodies: Suggests autoimmune channelopathy, potentially responsive to immunotherapy
- Positive tTG Antibodies: Indicates possible gluten ataxia, potentially reversible with gluten-free diet
- Normal Results: Help exclude autoimmune causes, directing further diagnostic evaluation
