Anti-ganglioside autoantibodies are found in patients with peripheral neuropathies:
- Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS)
- Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP)
- Multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN)
- Miller-Fisher syndrome (MFS, a subtype of GBS)
Antibodies—IgG and IgM class antibodies in the serum of patients with clinical features of GBS, CIDP, MMN, and MFS—occur with prevalences ranging from 20% to 80%.
