What does this test Anti Ma2/Ta (PNMA2) Test identify?

Anti Ma2/Ta (PNMA2) Test

The Anti Ma2/Ta (PNMA2) Test is a blood test that identifies the presence of antibodies against Ma2/Ta (PNMA2) antigen in the body. Ma2/Ta is a protein found in the brain and is associated with paraneoplastic neurological syndromes. These syndromes are rare disorders that affect the nervous system in people with cancer.

By detecting the presence of anti-Ma2/Ta antibodies, this test can help diagnose paraneoplastic neurological syndromes and determine the appropriate treatment for patients. Early detection of these antibodies can lead to timely intervention and improved outcomes for individuals with these conditions.

Why is this test Anti Ma2/Ta (PNMA2) Test taken?

  • Reason for taking Anti Ma2/Ta (PNMA2) Test:

    The Anti Ma2/Ta (PNMA2) Test is typically taken to detect the presence of antibodies against Ma2 protein in the blood. These antibodies are associated with a rare autoimmune neurological disorder known as paraneoplastic neurological syndrome (PNS).

  • Indications for the test:
    • Unexplained neurological symptoms such as limb weakness, gait disturbances, dizziness, or cognitive impairment
    • Suspected paraneoplastic syndrome in individuals with known or suspected cancer
    • Monitoring treatment effectiveness in patients with PNS
  • Procedure:

    The Anti Ma2/Ta (PNMA2) Test involves taking a blood sample from the patient. The sample is then analyzed in a laboratory to detect the presence of Ma2 antibodies. Results are typically reported as positive or negative.

  • Interpretation of results:

    A positive result indicates the presence of Ma2 antibodies, which may suggest a diagnosis of paraneoplastic neurological syndrome. Further diagnostic tests and imaging studies may be required to confirm the diagnosis and identify the underlying cancer.
