To determine whether myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibodies (MOG-Abs) were predictive of a demyelination phenotype in children presenting with acquired demyelinating syndrome (ADS).
Sixty-five children with a first episode of ADS (12 acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, 24 optic neuritis, 18 transverse myelitis, 11 other clinically isolated syndrome) were identified from 2 national demyelination programs in the United Kingdom and France. Acute serum samples were tested for MOG-Abs by cell-based assay. Antibodies were used to predict diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) at 1 year.
Twenty-three of 65 (35%) children had MOG-Abs. Antibody-positive and antibody-negative patients were not clinically different at presentation, but identification of MOG-Abs predicted a non-MS course at 1-year follow-up: only 2/23 (9%) MOG-Ab-positive patients were diagnosed with MS compared to 16/42 (38%) MOG-Ab-negative patients (p = 0.019, Fisher exact test). Antibody positivity at outset was a useful predictor for a non-MS disease course, with a positive predictive value of 91% (95% confidence interval [CI] 72-99), negative predictive value of 38% (95% CI 24-54), positive likelihood ratio of 4.02 (CI 1.0-15.4), and odds ratio of 6.5 (CI 1.3-31.3).
MOG-Abs are found at presentation in 35% of patients with childhood ADS, across a range of demyelinating disorders. Antibody positivity can be useful in predicting a non-MS disease course at onset.
确定髓鞘少突胶质细胞糖蛋白抗体(MOG-Abs)是否可预测发生获得性脱髓鞘综合征(ADS)的儿童出现脱髓鞘表型。
从英国和法国的 2 个脱髓鞘项目中确定了 65 名患有首发 ADS 的儿童(12 例急性播散性脑脊髓炎、24 例视神经炎、18 例横贯性脊髓炎、11 例其他临床孤立综合征)。通过细胞基础测定法对急性血清样本进行 MOG-Abs 检测。抗体用于预测 1 年后多发性硬化症(MS)的诊断。
65 名儿童中有 23 名(35%)存在 MOG-Abs。抗体阳性和抗体阴性患者在发病时无临床差异,但 MOG-Abs 的鉴定可预测 1 年随访时非 MS 病程:仅 23 名 MOG-Ab 阳性患者中有 2 名(9%)被诊断为 MS,而 42 名 MOG-Ab 阴性患者中有 16 名(38%)(p=0.019,Fisher 确切检验)。起始时的抗体阳性是 MS 疾病非进展的有用预测指标,阳性预测值为 91%(95%CI 72-99),阴性预测值为 38%(95%CI 24-54),阳性似然比为 4.02(CI 1.0-15.4),优势比为 6.5(CI 1.3-31.3)。
在儿童 ADS 患者中,MOG-Abs 在发病时可在 35%的患者中发现,涵盖一系列脱髓鞘疾病。抗体阳性可有助于预测起病时的非 MS 疾病病程。
