  • The study focuses on understanding the clinical and immunologic characteristics of patients with paraneoplastic neurologic syndromes (PNSs) linked to Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC).
  • A total of 47 patients were analyzed, revealing common neurological disorders such as Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) and encephalomyelitis, along with significant associations with specific neural antibodies.

However, hypomorphic variants may be discovered associated with very atypical phenotypes, raising the importance of evaluating their pathogenic effects.
