Article Synopsis
  • The study explores the relationship between ovarian cancer (OC) and anti-Yo-associated paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (PCD), focusing on changes in exosomal microRNA (miRNA) profiles in OC patients with PCD compared to healthy individuals and those without PCD.
  • Serum exosomes from three groups (OC with PCD, OC without PCD, and healthy controls) were analyzed, revealing 103 differentially expressed miRNAs in PCD patients versus OC patients without PCD, and 139 versus healthy controls.
  • Key miRNAs such as miR-486-5p and miR-21-5p showed potential as biomarkers for diagnosing PCD and indicated a link between these miRNAs and the

Introduction: Corticobasal syndrome (CBS) is a rare form of atypical parkinsonism, most commonly caused by neurodegenerative disorders. Autoimmune underlying conditions are extremely rare, and anti-Yo antibody-associated CBS has not been reported yet.

Case Report: Herein, we describe a case of a 68-year-old woman presenting with progressive dysarthria, gait instability and difficulty using her left hand with subacute deterioration during the last 3 months.

Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes occur due to immune-mediated neuronal dysfunction secondary to systemic malignancy, and symptoms can usually be seen before malignancy. There are many subtypes that depend on the antibodies present or the proteins they target. Accurate epidemiological data are lacking as it is difficult to diagnose.

Background And Purpose: Commercially available tests for Yo antibody detection have low specificity for paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (PCD) because these assays use cerebellar degeneration-related protein 2 (CDR2) as the antigen, not CDR2-like (CDR2L). We aimed to test the hypothesis that use of a CDR2L cell-based assay (CBA), as an additional screening technique, would increase the accuracy of Yo-PCD diagnosis.

Methods: An in-house CBA to test for anti-CDR2L antibodies was developed and used to screen sera from 48 patients with confirmed anti-Yo-associated PCD.

Article Synopsis
  • Identified the role of genetic alterations in Yo antigens as a trigger for paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (PCD) in breast cancer, associated with the presence of anti-Yo antibodies.
  • Characterized 22 breast cancers with Yo-PCD, finding that they were typically aggressive, HER2-positive, and hormone receptor-negative with distinct genetic profiles.
  • Discovered significant immune responses in Yo-PCD breast cancers, including a high infiltration of immunoglobulin G-plasma cells and pathways linked to adaptive immunity, suggesting a specific cancer-related immune response.
