Biomarkers for predicting myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody (Ab)-associated disease (MOGAD) clinical course are still missing. Binding capacity to a mutant MOG protein variant (MOG-P42S; non-P42) was shown to correlate with an increased relapse risk in adult patients.The objective of our study was to assess the frequency of binding to the non-P42 MOG variant in a cohort of paediatric MOGAD and to investigate its association with specific clinical profiles and disease course.
We included children with MOG-Ab seropositive samples collected after their first demyelinating episode from five different centres. We performed live cell-based assays with native full-length MOG (MOG-FL) and mutant MOG-P42S and correlated the results with clinical data.
Of the 81 MOG-FL identified patients serum, 40 bound the non-P42 MOG. Non-P42 patients exhibited an earlier median age of onset (p=0.002). Phenotype distribution was different between groups (p=0.001), with non-P42 patients predominantly exhibiting acute disseminated encephalomyelitis phenotype. Notably, the non-P42 group was associated with a higher relapse rate (relative rate: 2.6 (95% CI 1.1 to 6.2), p=0.03), adjusted for clinical phenotype.
Non-P42 is a promising biomarker for predicting relapse in paediatric MOGAD patients.
预测髓鞘少突胶质细胞糖蛋白抗体(Ab)相关疾病(MOGAD)临床病程的生物标志物仍然缺乏。已证明与突变型MOG蛋白变体(MOG-P42S;非P42)的结合能力与成年患者复发风险增加相关。我们研究的目的是评估儿科MOGAD队列中与非P42 MOG变体结合的频率,并研究其与特定临床特征和疾病病程的关联。
我们纳入了来自五个不同中心的首次脱髓鞘发作后采集的MOG-Ab血清阳性样本的儿童。我们使用天然全长MOG(MOG-FL)和突变型MOG-P42S进行基于活细胞的检测,并将结果与临床数据相关联。
在81例经MOG-FL鉴定的患者血清中,40例与非P42 MOG结合。非P42患者的中位发病年龄更早(p=0.002)。两组间的表型分布不同(p=0.001),非P42患者主要表现为急性播散性脑脊髓炎表型。值得注意的是,经临床表型调整后,非P42组的复发率更高(相对率:2.6(95%CI 1.1至6.2),p=0.03)。
非P42是预测儿科MOGAD患者复发的一个有前景的生物标志物。
