Test ID: AMOG
Anti-MOG (myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein) antibodies are immune proteins that mistakenly attack the myelin sheath covering nerves in the central nervous system, causing inflammation known as MOG antibody-associated disease (MOGAD). This demyelination leads to symptoms like optic neuritis, myelitis, and brain inflammation (ADEM), often presenting as vision loss, weakness, or bladder dysfunction.
