The spectrum of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody-associated disorder (MOGAD) comprises monophasic diseases such as acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), optic neuritis (ON), and transverse myelitis and relapsing courses of these presentations. Persistently high MOG antibodies (MOG immunoglobulin G [IgG]) are found in patients with a relapsing disease course. Prognostic factors to determine the clinical course of children with a first MOGAD are still lacking. The objective of the study is to assess the clinical and laboratory prognostic parameters for a risk of relapse and the temporal dynamics of MOG-IgG titers in children with MOGAD in correlation with clinical presentation and disease course.
In this prospective multicenter hospital-based study, children with a first demyelinating attack and complete data set comprising clinical and radiologic findings, MOG-IgG titer at onset, and clinical and serologic follow-up data were included. Serum samples were analyzed by live cell-based assay, and a titer level of ≥1:160 was classified as MOG-IgG-positive.
One hundred sixteen children (f:m = 57:59) with MOGAD were included and initially diagnosed with ADEM (n = 59), unilateral ON (n = 12), bilateral ON (n = 16), myelitis (n = 6), neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (n = 8) or encephalitis (n = 6). The median follow-up time was 3 years in monophasic and 5 years in relapsing patients. There was no significant association between disease course and MOG-IgG titers at onset, sex, age at presentation, or clinical phenotype. Seroconversion to MOG-IgG-negative within 2 years of the initial event showed a significant risk reduction for a relapsing disease course. Forty-two/one hundred sixteen patients (monophasic n = 26, relapsing n = 16) had serial MOG-IgG testing in years 1 and 2 after the initial event. In contrast to relapsing patients, monophasic patients showed a significant decrease of MOG-IgG titers during the first and second years, often with seroconversion to negative titers. During the follow-up, MOG-IgG titers were persistently higher in relapsing than in monophasic patients. Decrease in MOG-IgG of ≥3 dilution steps after the first and second years was shown to be associated with a decreased risk of relapses. In our cohort, no patient experienced a relapse after seroconversion to MOG-IgG-negative.
In this study, patients with declining MOG-IgG titers, particularly those with seroconversion to MOG-IgG-negative, are shown to have a significantly reduced relapse risk.
髓鞘少突胶质细胞糖蛋白(MOG)抗体相关性疾病(MOGAD)的谱包括单相疾病,如急性播散性脑脊髓炎(ADEM)、视神经炎(ON)和横贯性脊髓炎,以及这些表现的复发病程。在复发病程的患者中持续存在高 MOG 抗体(MOG 免疫球蛋白 G [IgG])。目前仍缺乏预测儿童首次 MOGAD 临床病程的预后因素。本研究的目的是评估儿童 MOGAD 患者复发风险的临床和实验室预后参数,以及 MOG-IgG 滴度与临床表现和疾病病程的时间动态关系。
在这项前瞻性多中心医院基础研究中,纳入了首次脱髓鞘发作且具有完整临床和影像学发现、发病时 MOG-IgG 滴度以及临床和血清学随访数据的儿童。通过活细胞测定法分析血清样本,将滴度水平≥1:160 分类为 MOG-IgG 阳性。
纳入了 116 例 MOGAD 患儿(女性:男性=57:59),最初诊断为 ADEM(n=59)、单侧 ON(n=12)、双侧 ON(n=16)、脊髓炎(n=6)、视神经脊髓炎谱系障碍(n=8)或脑炎(n=6)。在单相患者中,中位随访时间为 3 年,在复发患者中为 5 年。疾病病程与发病时的 MOG-IgG 滴度、性别、发病年龄或临床表型之间无显著关联。在初始事件后 2 年内血清转阴性与复发病程的显著降低风险相关。116 例患者中有 42/116 例(单相 n=26,复发 n=16)在初始事件后 1 年和 2 年进行了 MOG-IgG 连续检测。与复发患者相比,单相患者在第 1 年和第 2 年 MOG-IgG 滴度显著下降,常转为阴性滴度。在随访期间,复发患者的 MOG-IgG 滴度持续高于单相患者。在第 1 年和第 2 年 MOG-IgG 滴度下降≥3 个稀释度与复发风险降低相关。在本队列中,无患者在转为 MOG-IgG 阴性后复发。
在本研究中,显示 MOG-IgG 滴度下降的患者,尤其是转为 MOG-IgG 阴性的患者,复发风险显著降低。
