SOX1 antibody is detected in patients with Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) and in patients with paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (PCD), paraneoplastic and nonparaneoplastic neuropathy. SOX1 antibody is associated with small cell lung cancer. A negative test result does not rule out a diagnosis of LEMS or other causes of paraneoplastic neurological syndrome.
