Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a severe inflammatory disease of the central nervous system characterized, in particular, by disabling episodes of optic neuritis and longitudinal extensive transverse myelitis. Its main pathogenic characteristic is the presence of anti-aquaporin-4 antibodies (AQP4-Abs) in the serum of affected patients. However, a proportion of patients with the typical NMOSD phenotype are, in fact, negative (seronegative) for AQP4-Abs and, within this category of patients, a proportion of them instead express antibodies to myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG-Abs). The presence of MOG-Abs in the sera of seronegative NMOSD patients is more frequently associated with monophasic disease and moderate symptom severity, and also appears to predict a better outcome. The present report is a review of the clinical and immunological features of MOG-Ab-positive NMOSD.
视神经脊髓炎谱系疾病(NMOSD)是一种中枢神经系统严重的炎症性疾病,其特征尤其在于视神经炎和长节段横贯性脊髓炎导致的致残性发作。其主要的发病特征是受累患者血清中存在抗水通道蛋白 4 抗体(AQP4-Abs)。然而,实际上,一部分具有典型 NMOSD 表型的患者血清 AQP4-Abs 为阴性(血清阴性),并且在这部分患者中,一部分患者表达髓鞘少突胶质细胞糖蛋白抗体(MOG-Abs)。血清阴性 NMOSD 患者血清中 MOG-Abs 的存在更常与单相疾病和中等症状严重程度相关,并且似乎也预示着更好的预后。本报告是对 MOG-Ab 阳性 NMOSD 的临床和免疫学特征的综述。
