Abstract
Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) is a demyelinating central nervous system disorder. We aimed to uncover immune pathways altered in MOGAD to predict disease progression. Using nanostring nCounter technology, we analyzed immune gene expression in PBMCs from MOGAD patients and compare it with healthy controls (HCs). We found 35 genes that distinguished MOGAD patients and HCs. We then validated those results in a larger cohort including MS and NMOSD patients. Expressions of HLA-DRA was significantly lower in MOGAD patients. This reduction in HLA-DRA, correlated with a monophasic disease course and greater brain volume, enhancing our ability to predict MOGAD progression.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Neuroimmunology affords a forum for the publication of works applying immunologic methodology to the furtherance of the neurological sciences. Studies on all branches of the neurosciences, particularly fundamental and applied neurobiology, neurology, neuropathology, neurochemistry, neurovirology, neuroendocrinology, neuromuscular research, neuropharmacology and psychology, which involve either immunologic methodology (e.g. immunocytochemistry) or fundamental immunology (e.g. antibody and lymphocyte assays), are considered for publication.
