Clinic significance

Anti-ganglioside (glycolipids GM1, GM2, GM3, GD1a, GD1b, GQ1b) antibodies contribute to the diagnosis of generally motor and sensorimotor neuropathies. Anti-GM1 IgG are associated with Guillain-Barré syndrome induced by Campylobacter jejuni. Anti-GQ1b IgG are very specific for Miller Fisher syndrome. IgM antibodies are frequently of monoclonal origin and are associated with chronic forms.
