Abstract Details

Application of a Novel Diagnostic Test to Patients with Demyelinating Disease: The Accuracy of MSPrecise TM
MS and Related Diseases
P03 - (-)
242
BACKGROUND: With the development of many new effective therapeutic options, diagnosing multiple sclerosis early and accurately has become a priority for healthcare providers and patients. We have recently demonstrated that B cells from the cerebrospinal fluid of patients diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) have a distinct pattern of somatic hypermutation in their antibody genes that is shared with CIS patients who develop MS in the future.
DESIGN/METHODS: Patients with MS, transverse myelitis and optic neuritis undergoing lumbar puncture as part of their clinical care were consented to take part in an IRB approved biorepository effort. Deidentified samples were used to isolate DNA from B cells and determine their rate of somatic hypermutation.
RESULTS: Using this approach, we have tested over 100 subjects in a two-stage independent study. In the most recent stage, MSPreciseTM classified RRMS with 100% specificity and an overall accuracy of 84%, based on the mutational frequency in their B cell antibody repertoires. We are in the process of recruiting 150 new subjects into a blinded, prospective multi-site clinical trial to validate these findings. As part of our analysis we will analyze each patient's blood alongside their CSF. Since we will be collecting biosamples from these patients prior to their definitive diagnosis we will compare the results from MSPreciseTM with the consensus diagnosis from from a clinical adjudication panel.
CONCLUSIONS: Beyond advancing diagnostic evaluations, these mutation patterns will be potentially helpful for understanding the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis.
