Ganglionic acetylcholine receptor autoantibody: oncological, neurological, and serological accompaniments.
OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical utility of the nicotinic ganglionic acetylcholine receptor (alpha3-AChR) autoantibody as a marker of neurological autoimmunity and cancer. DESIGN Case-control study. SETTING Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota. PATIENTS A total of 15,000 patients seen at Mayo Clinic (2005-2007) and evaluated on a service basis for paraneoplastic neurological autoimmunity f...
متن کاملAlpha 3 ganglionic acetylcholine receptor antibody associated refractory status epilepticus
Autoimmune encephalitides are a group of syndromes that may present with subacute onset of disorientation, personality changes, memory loss and most prominently seizures. Earlier reports of this entity were from patients with paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis, however autoimmune etiologies have also been described in patients with non-paraneoplastic encephalitis [1]. The Alpha 3 ganglionic ace...
متن کاملIdiopathic autonomic neuropathy: comparison of cases seropositive and seronegative for ganglionic acetylcholine receptor antibody.
BACKGROUND The clinical characteristics of autoimmune autonomic neuropathy are only partially defined. More than 50% of patients with high levels of ganglionic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) autoantibodies have a combination of sicca complex (marked dry eyes and dry mouth), abnormal pupillary light response, upper gastrointestinal tract symptoms, and neurogenic bladder. OBJECTIVE To compare pa...

the present work with consideratlon to the autoradiographic pictures, suggests that cholinergic receptors are located at the gate of a channel originating from synaptic cleft coming to lie within the muscle fibre. ache molecules stand at the gate of this channel,controlling the entrance of different cholinergic agents. it was report- ••• ed previously that dtc molecules s t.abd ;:.2e the ache r...
متن کاملMyasthenia gravis seronegative for acetylcholine receptor antibodies in South Korea: Autoantibody profiles and clinical features
Acquired myasthenia gravis (MG) is a prototype autoimmune disease of the neuromuscular junction, caused in most patients by autoantibodies to the muscle nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR). There seem to be ethnic and regional differences in the frequency and clinical features of MG seronegative for the AChR antibody. This study aimed to describe the autoantibody profiles and clinical featu...
