Peripheral nervous system manifestations of MOG antibody associated disease.

ABSTRACT: Recent studies have reported the involvement of peripheral nervous system (PNS) in association with MOG-IgG, including isolated neuropathies. In this retrospective study we characterized the PNS involvement in MOG antibody associated disease (MOGAD). Six out of 215 MOGAD patients had PNS involvement (all polyradiculopathy) that occurred concurrently with a CNS demyelinating episode. We also demonstrated MOG expression in healthy human controls' proximal nerve root. Nine patients with true-positive MOG-IgG1 had PNS involvement temporally unrelated to a CNS demyelinating event. All these patients had an alternate etiology of PNS involvement. Isolated peripheral neuropathy is not a feature of MOGAD, but inflammatory nerve root involvement can occur concurrently with CNS demyelinating events.

Project description:IntroductionThe association of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody associated disease (MOGAD) and tumors has seldom been reported. We aim to investigate the occurrence of tumors in a cohort of patients with MOGAD and to describe their clinical features, in addition to previously reported cases.MethodsWe retrospectively identified patients with MOGAD (i.e., compatible clinical phenotype and positive MOG antibodies analysed with a live cell-based assay) from 1/1/2015 to 1/1/2023 who had a neoplasm diagnosed within 2 years from MOGAD onset. Furthermore, we performed systematic review of literature to identify previously reported cases. Clinical, paraclinical and oncological findings were collected and reported as median (range) or number (percentage).ResultsTwo of 150 MOGAD patients (1%) had a concomitant neoplasm in our cohort. Fifteen additional cases were retrieved from literature. Median age was 39 (16-73) years-old, 12 patients were female. ADEM (n = 4;23.5%), encephalomyelitis (n = 3;17.6%), and monolateral optic neuritis (n = 2;11.8%) were the most frequent phenotypes. Median number of treatments was 1 (range 1-4), improvement was reported in 14/17 cases (82.4%). Oncological accompaniments were teratoma (n = 4), CNS (n = 3), melanoma (n = 2), lung (n = 2), hematological (n = 2), ovary (n = 1), breast (n = 1), gastrointestinal (n = 1), and thymic (n = 1) neoplasms. Median time from tumor diagnosis to MOGAD onset was 0 (range - 60 to 20) months. MOG expression in neoplastic tissue was reported in 2/4 patients. Median PNS-CARE score was 3 (range 0-7): 11 patients were classified as "non-PNS," 5 as "possible PNS," and 1 as "probable PNS."DiscussionOur study confirms that MOG is a low-risk antibody for paraneoplastic neurological syndromes and that the clinical presentation and oncological accompaniments are extremely variable. Most of these patients were classified as non-PNS, whereas only a minority was diagnosed with possible/probable PNS, frequently in association with ovarian teratoma. These findings support the notion that MOGAD is not a paraneoplastic disease.
