MOG antibody disease

MOG antibody disease (MOGAD), also called MOG antibody-associated encephalomyelitis, is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. It is associated with serum antibodies against myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein. These antibodies have been described in people with acquired demyelinating syndromes, including acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, optic neuritis, transverse myelitis, and neuromyelitis optica.
