Show transcript:

Dr. Alexander Menze:

Hi, this is Alexander Menze. I just finished interviewing Divyanshu Dubey for the Neurology podcast. For today's Neurology Minute, I'm hoping you can tell us the main points of your paper.

Dr. Divyanshu Dubey:

Our paper talks about a rare form of autoimmune neuropathy associated with antibodies, CASPR1, as well as CASPR1/Contactin-1 complex IgG. These patients present with similar to CIDP, IDP, but tend to have more rapid progression, often a lot of sensory features preceding motor deficits including sensory ataxia in the contact and CASPR complex cases and presence of neuropathic pain in some of the CASPR1 cases. These patients, similar to other neuropathies are refractory to IVIg, but respond relatively well to rituximab.

Dr. Alexander Menze:

Thank you. Be sure to download this week's podcast to hear our full interview.
