Test Code MDS2 Movement Disorder, Autoimmune Evaluation, Serum
Necessary Information
Provide the following information:
-Relevant clinical information
-Ordering provider name, phone number, mailing address, and e-mail address
Specimen Required
Patient Preparation:
1. For optimal antibody detection, specimen collection is recommended prior to initiation of immunosuppressant medication.
2. This test should not be requested in patients who have recently received radioisotopes, therapeutically or diagnostically, because of potential assay interference. The specific waiting period before specimen collection will depend on the isotope administered, the dose given, and the clearance rate in the individual patient. Specimens will be screened for radioactivity prior to analysis. Radioactive specimens received in the laboratory will be held 1 week and assayed if sufficiently decayed, or canceled if radioactivity remains.
Container/Tube:
Preferred: Red top
Acceptable: Serum gel
Specimen Volume: 4 mL
Forms
If not ordering electronically, complete, print, and send a Neurology Specialty Testing Client Test Request (T732) with the specimen.
Useful For
Evaluating patients with suspected paraneoplastic or other autoimmune movement disorders including patients with ataxia, chorea, dyskinesias, myoclonus, parkinsonism, and stiff-person spectrum in serum specimens

Testing Algorithm
If indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) pattern suggests ANN1S, ANN2S, ANN3S, PCABP, PCAB2, PCATR, or AGN1S, then paraneoplastic autoantibody Western blot is performed at an additional charge.
If IFA pattern suggests amphiphysin antibody, then amphiphysin Western blot is performed at an additional charge.
If IFA pattern suggests AMPA-R antibody, then AMPA-R cell-binding assay (CBA) and AMPA-R titer are performed at an additional charge.
If IFA pattern suggests DPPX antibody, then DPPX CBA and DPPX titer are performed at an additional charge.
If IFA pattern suggests GABA-B-R antibody, then GABA-B-R CBA and GABA-B-R titer are performed at an additional charge.
If IFA pattern suggests mGluR1 antibody, then mGluR1 CBA and mGluR1 titer are performed at an additional charge.
If IFA pattern suggests NMDA-R antibody and NMDA-R CBA is positive, then NMDA-R titer is performed at an additional charge.
