Immune response profiling identifies autoantibodies specific to Moyamoya patients
Immune response profiling identifies autoantibodies specific to Moyamoya patients ORPHANET JOURNAL OF RARE DISEASES Sigdel, T. K., Shoemaker, L. D., Chen, R., Li, L., Butte, A. J., Sarwal, M. M., Steinberg, G. K. 2013; 8Abstract
Moyamoya Disease is a rare, devastating cerebrovascular disorder characterized by stenosis/occlusion of supraclinoid internal carotid arteries and development of fragile collateral vessels. Moyamoya Disease is typically diagnosed by angiography after clinical presentation of cerebral hemorrhage or ischemia. Despite unclear etiology, previous reports suggest there may be an immunological component.To explore the role of autoimmunity in moyamoya disease, we used high-density protein arrays to profile IgG autoantibodies from the sera of angiographically-diagnosed Moyamoya Disease patients and compared these to healthy controls. Protein array data analysis followed by bioinformatics analysis yielded a number of auto-antibodies which were further validated by ELISA for an independent group of MMD patients (n?=?59) and control patients with other cerebrovascular diseases including carotid occlusion, carotid stenosis and arteriovenous malformation.We identified 165 significantly (p?
