Diagnostic features of initial demyelinating events associated with serum MOG-IgG

BACKGROUND: Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)-IgG associated disorders are increasingly recognized as a distinct disease entity. However, diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of serum MOG-IgG as well as recommendations for testing are still debated.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between October 2015 and July 2017 we tested serum MOG-IgG in 91 adult patients (49 females) with a demyelinating event (DE) not fulfilling 2010 McDonald criteria for MS at sampling, negative for neuromyelitis optica (NMO)-IgG and followed-up for at least 12 months. We assessed the sensitivity and specificity of a live-cell MOG-IgG assay for each final diagnosis at last follow-up, for the 2018 international recommendations for MOG-IgG testing, and for other combinations of clinical and laboratory characteristics.

RESULTS: Clinical presentations included acute myelitis (n = 48), optic neuritis (n = 36), multifocal encephalomyelitis (n = 4), and brainstem syndrome (n = 3). Twenty-four patients were MOG-IgG positive. Sensitivity and specificity of MOG-IgG test applied to the 2018 international recommendations were 28.4% and 86.7%, while they were 42.1% and 88.6% when applied to DE of unclear aetiology as defined above with two or more among: 1_no periventricular and juxtacortical MS-like lesions on brain MRI; 2_longitudinally extensive MRI optic nerve lesion; 3_no CSF-restricted oligoclonal bands; 4_CSF protein > 50 mg/dl.

CONCLUSIONS: Simplified requirements compared to those currently proposed for MOG-IgG testing could facilitate the applicability of the assay in the diagnosis of adults with DEs of unclear aetiology.
