Reference Values
Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Yo Ab, IFA: Negative
Purkinje cells cytoplasmic antibody (Yo) can be found in approximately 50% of patients with paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (PCD). The presence of Yo antibody strongly suggests underlying gynecological cancer primarily of ovarian or breast origin. A negative assay for Yo antibody does not exclude the possibility of a malignant tumor.
PDF Report
Indicates whether the report includes an additional document with charts, images or other enriched information
No
Report Available
The interval of time (receipt of sample at Mayo Clinic Laboratories to results available) taking into account standard setup days and weekends. The first day is the time that it typically takes for a result to be available. The last day is the time it might take, accounting for any necessary repeated testing.

Test Classification
Provides information regarding the medical device classification for laboratory test kits and reagents. Tests may be classified as cleared or approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and used per manufacturer instructions, or as products that do not undergo full FDA review and approval, and are then labeled as an Analyte Specific Reagent (ASR) product.
This test was developed and its performance characteristics have been determined by Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute, San Juan Capistrano. It has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The FDA has determined that such clearance or approval is not necessary. Performance characteristics refer to the analytical performance of the test.
