Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy is an advanced diagnostic centre and an NABL- and NABH-accredited diagnostic centre that offers an NMO test for MOG Antibody Profile. It is a blood test that is used to look for antibodies that develop in some inflammatory diseases, such as inflammation of the optic nerves and the spinal cord. It will help doctors rule out Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder (NMOSD) and Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein Antibody-Associated Disease (MOGAD) from the differential diagnosis.

What is NMO with MOG Antibody Profile?

NMO Antibody Profile is a specialized antibody panel test that is carried out on serum by the immunofluorescence method. It is useful for identifying some antibodies that are associated with diseases of the brain, cord, and optic nerves. The results aid doctors in differentiating among different neurological diseases and assist with scheduling additional testing and/or treatment.

Conditions Evaluated

Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder (NMOSD)

NMOSD is a form of autoimmunity of the nervous system which usually attacks the optic nerves and spinal cord. May lead to inflammation of the optic nerves (optic neuritis), loss of vision, inflammation of the spinal cord (myelitis), weakness and sensory changes. This condition is measured by a blood test for AQP4 antibodies.

MOG Antibody-Associated Disease (MOGAD)

MOG is also an inflammatory disorder that causes the formation of an antibody against MOG or an autoimmune attack against the myelin (oligodendrocytes). It can affect the optic nerves, the spine, or the brain, and disrupt vision and motor function, and cause neurological inflammation that affects the nervous system, resulting in seizures.

Optic Neuritis

Optic neuritis is inflammation of the optic nerve that transmits messages from the eye to the brain. It can cause a person to double or lose some of his/her vision, to see color less distinctly, or make it painful to move his/her eyes. Testing for more antibodies (AQP4 and MOG antibodies) can help investigate the underlying cause.

Transverse Myelitis

The brain/boddy communication is interrupted by inflammation of the spinal cord, or transverse myelitis. Weakness, changes in sensation, pain, and problems with bladder and bowel control are possible symptoms. Testing may be helpful to detect an autoimmune condition that is associated with the antibody.
