Useful For
Detecting phosphodiesterase 10A (PDE10A)-IgG in cerebrospinal fluid specimens
Evaluation of autoimmune/paraneoplastic neurological syndromes among patients presenting with movement disorders and encephalopathy
Testing Algorithm
If the indirect immunofluorescence (IFA) pattern suggests phosphodiesterase 10A (PDE10A) IgG, then the PDE10A antibody IFA titer will be performed at an additional charge.
