Novel pathogenic antibodies give insight into the role of GABA A receptors in the central nervous system

Abstract:
  • Antibodies against the β3 subunit of GABAA receptors identified in patients with thymomas.
  • Spectrum of autoimmune encephalitides extended with discovery of pathogenic antibodies to inhibitory channel.
  • Identification of antibodies involved a comprehensive characterisation of pathogenicity.
  • Clinically, improvement is observed but coincides with multiple interventions and does not directly address whether this may be due to a depression in autoantibody titres.
  • Binding of antibodies may alter network excitability, as inhibitory neurotransmission is likely to be impaired.
