Specimen Required
Only orderable as a reflex. For more information see:
-AIAES / Axonal Neuropathy, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation, Serum
-DMS2 / Dementia, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation, Serum
-DYS2 / Dysautonomia, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation, Serum

-MDS2 / Movement Disorder, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation, Serum
-PAVAL / Paraneoplastic, Autoantibody Evaluation, Serum
-PCDES / Pediatric Autoimmune Encephalopathy/CNS Disorder Evaluation, Serum
Useful For
Diagnosis of paraneoplastic autoimmune neuropathies, encephalomyeloradiculopathies, related neurologic disorders, and intestinal pseudo-obstruction/dysmotility associated with small-cell lung carcinoma
Reporting an end titer result from serum specimens
This test alone should not be used as a general screening test for carcinoma of the lung.
Testing Algorithm
If the indirect immunofluorescence pattern suggests antineuronal nuclear antibody type 1 (ANNA-1), then this test will be performed at an additional charge.

Neuron-restricted patterns of IgG staining that do not fulfill criteria for antineuronal nuclear antibody type 1 may be reported as "unclassified anti-neuronal IgG." Complex patterns that include nonneuronal elements may be reported as "uninterpretable."
