Antibodies to TRIM46 are associated with paraneoplastic neurological syndromes
Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes (PNS) are often characterized by the presence of antineuronal antibodies in patient serum or cerebrospinal fluid. The detection of antineuronal antibodies has proven to be a useful tool in PNS diagnosis and the search for an underlying tumor. Here, we describe three patients with autoantibodies to several epitopes of the axon initial segment protein tripart...
متن کاملImmunopathogenesis of paraneoplastic neurological syndromes associated with anti-Hu antibodies
Paraneoplastic neurological disorders (PNDs) are syndromes that develop in cancer patients when an efficient antitumor immune response, directed against antigens expressed by both malignant cells and healthy neurons, damages the nervous system. Herein, we analyze existing data on the mechanisms of loss of self tolerance and nervous tissue damage that underpin one of the most frequent PNDs, the ...

Necrobiotic xanthogranuloma This presents as multiple sharply demarcated, indurated, non-tender dermal or subcutaneous nodules and plaques. Periorbital involvement is common. Lesions vary from violaceous to red orange, and enlarge to form infiltrative plaques that may show central atrophy. Though most of the lesions are asymptomatic, some may be pruritic or painful. Ulceration and scarring are ...
متن کاملParaneoplastic neurological syndromes
Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes are immune-mediated erroneous attacks on the central or peripheral nervous systems, or both, directed originally against the tumour itself. They have been known for more than 40 years, but recently the discovery of new subgroups of paraneoplastic encephalitis syndromes with a remarkably good response to immune therapy has ignited new clinical and scientific...
