Neurological phenotypes for septin-7 IgG positive patients include encephalopathy, myelopathy, encephalomyelopathy, painful myelopolyradiculopathy, and episodic ataxia. Psychiatric symptoms are also common with encephalopathic symptoms. Septin-7 IgG is also associated with cancer. Positive response to immunotherapy.

Negative
Seropositivity for septin antibodies by indirect immunofluorescence assay is consistent with a diagnosis of autoimmune disease of the central nervous system. Cell-binding assay (CBA) testing for septin-7 IgG is required to confirm the diagnosis. Seropositivity for Septin-7 IgG by CBA confirms a diagnosis of autoimmune disease of the central nervous system. A paraneoplastic cause should be considered in patients with septin-7-IgG.
Negative results for septin-7 IgG by cell-binding assay do not exclude neurological autoimmunity or cancer.

Patient specimen is applied to a composite slide containing transfected and nontransfected HEK-293 cells. After incubation and washing, fluorescein-conjugated goat-antihuman IgG is applied to detect the presence of patient IgG binding.(Package insert: IIFT: Neurology Mosaics, Instructions for the indirect immunofluorescence test.
