Aquaporin-1 Antibodies in Autoimmune Inflammatory Demyelinating Disorders with Predominant Optic Nerve & Spinal Cord Involvement.

Key Points

• This research aims to investigate the presence of aquaporin-1 antibodies in autoimmune inflammatory demyelinating disorders affecting the optic nerve and spinal cord.
• Analyzed samples for aquaporin-1 antibodies (AQP1-Abs) presence
• Focused on patients with involvement of the optic nerve and spinal cord
• Conducted a review of autoimmune inflammatory demyelinating disorders
• AQP1-Abs were occasionally detected in the studied population
• Highlighting a potential link between AQP1-Abs and optic nerve/spinal cord involvement in these disorders
