Aids in the diagnosis of neurodegenerative disease and limbic encephalitis. May be used to monitor treatment response in individuals who are antibody positive. The presence of IgLON5 antibodies may be associated with sleep disorders, bulbar symptoms, gait problems, cognitive dysfunction, movement disorders, or dysautonomia. IgLON5 autoimmune neurologic/neurodegenerative disorders may be paraneoplastic, but tumor type is variable.
