A plain-language description with its source has not been added for this biomarker yet. What the laboratories say about the tests that measure it is below.
What the laboratory says this test is for
Anti-CASPR2 antibodies are found in patients with the acute or subacute onset of symptoms of limbic encephalitis, peripheral nerve hyperexcitability, and neuromyotonia.
Quest Diagnostics test directory, test code 92413
What the laboratory says this test is for
Anti-Hu, anti-CV2, anti-Yo, anti-Ri, anti-CAR, anti-Ma, anti-Ta, anti-Zic4 antibodies, anti-voltage gated calcium channels (VGCC), anti-P/Q type and voltage gated potassium channels (VGKC), anti- Ganglionic AChR, anti-Amphiphysin, anti-NMDA receptor (NR1-subunit), anti-LGI1, anti-CASPR2, and anti-GAD65 are found in patients with the acute or subacute onset of limbic encephalitis, brainstem encephalitis, focal cortical encephalitis, myelitis, cerebellar degeneration, opsoclonus/myoclonus, retinopathy, sensory neuropathy, autonomic dysfunction, Stiff Person Syndrome and/or Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome. This semi-quantitative assay may be useful in monitoring therapeutic responses in select cases.

Everything above is drawn from the named sources and shown as they published it. Reference ranges belong to the laboratory that issued them and the population it named; they are not a universal normal. This page describes the biomarker in general and does not interpret anyone's result. For your own numbers, talk to a clinician, or use Aumnivida, which reads the same graph next to your records.
