Additional Technical Information

Ordering Recommendation

Use to evaluate new acute- to subacute-onset encephalopathy, dementia, or cognitive impairment. If new-onset epilepsy is the prominent feature, refer to Autoimmune Epilepsy Panel, CSF (3006204). If new-onset movement disorder is the prominent feature, refer to Autoimmune Movement Disorder Panel, CSF (3006207). For testing in individuals <18 years of age, refer to Autoimmune Pediatric CNS Disorders, CSF (3006211).

Testing in both serum and CSF is recommended to maximize diagnostic yield; refer to Autoimmune Encephalopathy/Dementia Panel, Serum (3006201) for serum testing.

Compliance Category

Laboratory Developed Test (LDT)

Note

If NMDA CSF antibody IgG is positive, then titer will be added. Additional charges apply.
If AMPA CSF antibody IgG is positive, then titer will be added. Additional charges apply.
If GABA-BR CSF antibody IgG is positive, then titer will be added. Additional charges apply.
If CASPR2 CSF antibody IgG is positive, then titer will be added. Additional charges apply.
PCCA/ANNA CSF antibody IgG is screened by IFA. If the IFA screen is indeterminate, then a Neuronal Nuclear Antibodies (Hu, Ri, Yo, and Tr/DNER) IgG by Immunoblot will be performed. If the IFA screen is positive at 1:10 or greater, then a PCCA/ANNA antibodies titer and Neuronal Nuclear Antibodies (Hu, Ri, Yo, Tr/DNER) IgG by Immunoblot will be performed. Additional charges apply.
If LGI1 CSF antibody IgG is positive, then titer will be added. Additional charges apply.
If CV2 CSF antibody IgG is positive, then titer will be added. Additional charges apply.
If DPPX CSF antibody IgG by IFA is positive, then titer will be added. Additional charges apply.
If IgLON5 CSF antibody IgG by IFA is positive, then titer will be added. Additional charges apply.
If mGluR1 CSF antibody IgG by IFA is positive, then titer will be added. Additional charges apply.
