HelpTest Code T46IS Tripartite Motif-Containing Protein 46 (TRIM46) IgG, Tissue Immunofluorescence, Serum
Specimen Required
Only orderable as part of a profile. For more information see:
ENS2 / Encephalopathy, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation,
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 in 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 (CBA) 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.
