- Autoimmune autonomic ganglionopathy (AAG) is a rare disease where the body mistakenly attacks a type of receptor called gAChR.
- Doctors in the U.S. usually diagnose AAG by checking for symptoms and testing for specific autoantibodies with a method called a radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIA).
- This study suggests a new testing method called fluorescence-detection size-exclusion-chromatography (FSEC) that can also find these autoantibodies, showing it might be a good option for diagnosing AAG.
