In recent studies around the world where MOG testing is available, up to 42 of NMOSD patients who test seronegative for the AQP4 antibody test positive for MOG antibodies. So as an example, initially AQP4 antibodies, which are critical biomarker for neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD), were discovered initially through unique staining pattern on tissue immunofluorescence. Clinically urgent blood tests should only be ordered under the care of a registered medical practitioner, not on a self-request basis In addition, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is a well-recognized phenotype of MOG antibody disease in children. Particularly, as an example, Im going to discuss aquaporin 4 (AQP4) and MOG antibody detection platforms. As correct diagnosis is critical for prognosis, optimal treatment and prediction of relapse, initial testing for both Aquaporin 4 (AQP4) Antibodies and Myelin-Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein (MOG) Antibodies is strongly recommended for new cases of NMOSD. Turnaround times listed on the website should be treated as a guideline to when patients should expect to receive results. Many cases of Neuromyelitis Optica-spectrum disorders (NMOSD) are misdiagnosed as Multiple Sclerosis.
