Test Code T46CS Tripartite Motif-Containing Protein 46 (TRIM46) IgG, Cell Binding Assay, Serum


Specimen Required


Only orderable as a reflex. For more information see:

ENS2 / Encephalopathy, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation, Serum

DMS2 / Dementia, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation, Serum

EPS2 / Epilepsy, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation, Serum

MDS2 / Movement Disorder, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation, Serum

MAS1 / Myelopathy, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation, Serum


Useful For

Detecting tripartite motif-containing protein 46 (TRIM46)-IgG by cell-binding assay using serum specimens

 

Evaluation of an autoimmune/paraneoplastic neurological syndrome among patients presenting with cerebellar ataxia, encephalitis, or encephalomyelitis.

Testing Algorithm

If the indirect immunofluorescence (IFA) pattern suggests tripartite motif-containing protein 46 (TRIM46) IgG, then TRIM46 antibody cell-binding assay and IFA titer will be performed at an additional charge.

Negative

Interpretation

A positive result is consistent with a tripartite motif-containing protein 46 (TRIM46)-IgG associated autoimmune disease of the central nervous system. A paraneoplastic cause should be considered.
