Phosphodiesterase 10A (PDE10A) IgG, Tissue Immunofluorescence, Spinal Fluid
Useful For
Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Detecting phosphodiesterase 10A (PDE10A)-IgG in cerebrospinal fluid specimens
Evaluation of autoimmune/paraneoplastic neurological syndromes among patients presenting with movement disorders and encephalopathy
Testing Algorithm
Delineates situations when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.
If the indirect immunofluorescence (IFA) pattern suggests phosphodiesterase 10A (PDE10A) IgG, then the PDE10A antibody IFA titer will be performed at an additional charge.

Clinical Information
Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Phosphodiesterase 10A (PDE10A) is a marker of paraneoplastic neurological autoimmunity in patients presenting with movement disorders, encephalopathy, and often, cancer.
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.

Negative
Interpretation
Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
A positive result is consistent with phosphodiesterase 10A (PDE10A) autoimmunity that manifests with autoimmune movement disorders or encephalitis. A paraneoplastic cause should be considered.
Cautions
Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
A negative result does not exclude the presence of neurological autoimmunity or cancer. The use of immunosuppressive therapy prior to sample collection may negatively impact the sensitivity of this assay.

Method Description
Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference
The patient's sample is tested by a standardized immunofluorescence assay that uses a composite frozen section of mouse cerebellum, kidney, and gut tissues. After incubation with sample and washing, fluorescein-conjugated goat-antihuman IgG is applied. Neuron-specific autoantibodies are identified by their characteristic fluorescence staining patterns. Samples that are scored positive for any neuronal nuclear or cytoplasmic autoantibody are titrated to an endpoint. Interference by coexisting non-neuron-specific autoantibodies can usually be eliminated by serologic absorption.(Honorat JA, Komorowski L, Josephs KA, et al. IgLON5 antibody: Neurological accompaniments and outcomes in 20 patients. Neurol Neuroimmunol Neuroinflamm. 2017;4(5):e385. doi:10.1212/NXI.0000000000000385)

Day(s) Performed
Outlines the days the test is performed. This field reflects the day that the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means that assays are performed multiple times during the day.
Monday through Sunday
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.
Specimen Retention Time
Outlines the length of time after testing that a specimen is kept in the laboratory before it is discarded
Performing Laboratory Location
Indicates the location of the laboratory that performs the test
