Article Synopsis
- Autoimmune nodopathies are a new type of immune-mediated peripheral neuropathies linked to autoantibodies targeting specific proteins, with evidence showing an increased risk for these conditions in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients.*
-
- A systematic review identified 114 patients with autoimmune nodopathies, revealing that the prevalence of DM among them varied from 10.5% to 60%, predominantly with paranodal antibodies like CNTN1.*
-
- Key distinctive clinical features of autoimmune nodopathies compared to diabetic peripheral neuropathy included severe ataxia, specific neurophysiological patterns, and abnormal findings in cerebrospinal fluid analysis, while DM patients showed limited response to standard treatments.*
