Gangliosides act as onconeural antigens in paraneoplastic neuropathies.
We describe two patients with progressive neuropathy and lung cancer in whom gangliosides (GS) may represent the oncoantigens. Patient 1 had motor neuropathy, high titers of IgG1 and IgG3 to GD1a and GM1, and expansion of circulating gamma-delta T lymphocytes, a T-cell subset responding to glycolipids. Patient 2 presented with Miller-Fisher-like syndrome and IgG3 activity to disialo-GS. In both...
متن کاملAutophagy as an Emerging Common Pathomechanism in Inherited Peripheral Neuropathies
The inherited peripheral neuropathies (IPNs) comprise a growing list of genetically heterogeneous diseases. With mutations in more than 80 genes being reported to cause IPNs, a wide spectrum of functional consequences is expected to follow this genotypic diversity. Hence, the search for a common pathomechanism among the different phenotypes has become the holy grail of functional research into ...
متن کاملFocal peripheral neuropathies.
Focal peripheral neuropathies are not at the fashionable end of the neurological street. However they are important, as they are very common, sometimes disabling, and often treatable. They can also be a source of confusion when they occur in patients with other neurological diseases. This article will not go over the detailed clinical features of the many focal peripheral neuropathies that occu...
متن کاملBladder dysfunction in peripheral neuropathies.
Normal bladder function depends on the complex interaction of sensory and motor pathways. Bladder dysfunction can develop as a result of several neurological conditions. It can happen in a number of ways, including diabetic cystopathy, detrusor overactivity, bladder outlet obstruction, and urge and stress urinary incontinence. Diabetic neuropathy is the most common cause of peripheral neuropath...
متن کاملInherited peripheral neuropathies.
Mutations in genes expressed in Schwann cells and the axons they ensheathe cause the hereditary motor and sensory neuropathies, also known as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT). More than 40 different genes have been shown to cause inherited neuropathies; chromosomal localizations of many other distinct inherited neuropathies have been mapped, and new genetic causes for inherited neuropathies co...
