A case of stiff dog syndrome associated with anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies
BACKGROUND The stiff person syndrome (SPS) is a rare and debilitating autoimmune disorder with an unknown pathogenesis and variable clinical presentation that can present a diagnostic challenge. Although entities that clinically mimic stiff-person spectrum disorders (SPSD) have manifested in horses, they have not been reported in dogs. CASE PRESENTATION We describe a 2-year-old beagle dog pre...
متن کاملAnti-Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase Antibody-Associated Ataxia as an Extrahepatic Autoimmune Manifestation of Hepatitis C Infection: A Case Report
Extrahepatic immunological manifestations of hepatitis C virus (HCV) are well described. In addition, antiglutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) antibody-associated cerebellar ataxia is well-established entity. However, there have been no reports in the literature of anti-GAD antibody-associated ataxia as an extrahepatic manifestation of HCV infection. We report the case of a young woman with chroni...
متن کاملCognitive decline in a patient with anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase autoimmunity; case report
BACKGROUND Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) is the rate-limiting enzyme for producing γ-aminobutyric acid, and it has been suggested that antibodies against GAD play a role in neurological conditions and type 1 diabetes. However, it is not known whether dementia appears as the sole neurological manifestation associated with anti-GAD antibodies in the central nervous system. CASE PRESENTATION...
متن کاملOsmotic demyelination syndrome complicating diabetes with anti‐glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies and Graves’ disease: A case report
ODS associated with hyperglycemia is rare, with few reports.Immune responses have been recently reported as a mechanism of ODS onset. In the present case, an autoimmune predisposition may have contributed to ODS pathogenesis.
متن کاملCognitive dysfunction associated with anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase autoimmunity: a case-control study
BACKGROUND Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Anti-GAD antibodies (GADA) are associated with the progression of stiff person syndrome and other neurological diseases, as well as the immune-mediated (type 1) diabetes. GABA is one of the most widely distributed neurotransmitters, but the non-motor symptoms of GADA-positive...
