Antineurofascin IgG2-associated paediatric autoimmune nodopathy.

In this case series of four paediatric patients, we present the first described cases of immunotherapy-responsive autoimmune nodopathy with IgG2 antineurofascin antibodies. In three cases, the antineurofascin antibodies were predominantly of the IgG2 subclass, a novel finding in comparison to previously described adult cases where IgG4 and/or IgG1/3 have typically been described. One patient had low signal for IgG2 with predominant IgG1 and IgG4 antibodies, a pattern commonly seen in adult patients.
