what are autoimmune markers
Autoantibodies to the NR1 subunit are a highly specific marker of anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis. This form of encephalitis is one of the most common types of autoimmune encephalitis, typically affecting young women with ovarian teratomas; however, it also occurs in women without tumors, as well as in men and children.
Because GADAs are more persistent than ICAs after the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes,47 GADAs may be more often positive than ICAs in LADA. Because the frequency of LADA is â¼5â15% based on ICA studies, using GADAs as the autoimmune marker, LADA prevalence in phenotypic type 2 diabetes might be even greater.
