Mayo Clinic neurologists will be available April 6–8 at booth 1613 from noon to 1 p.m. Stop by to meet the experts who designed and implemented this testing.
Powered by expertise from our research labs, clinical labs, and clinical practice, Mayo Clinic Laboratories has developed panels customized to address specific autoimmune neurology and neurogenetic phenotypes. For patients with neurologic conditions, this testing can provide life-changing answers.
Connect with us at the American Academy of Neurology Annual Meeting to learn how our evaluations can inform your clinical practice. Drop by to talk to one of our experts about:
Sunday, April 6 | 12–1 p.m.
Monday, April 7 | 12–1 p.m.
Tuesday, April 8 | 12–1 p.m.
Highlights
By using a test that measures neurofilament light chain (Nfl) proteins in blood, clinicians can better diagnose devastating diseases like ALS and MS, help predict disease progression, and better assess efficacy of existing drugs and trial therapies.
Mayo Clinic Laboratories is thrilled to participate in the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) Annual Meeting, which will be held in San Diego on April 5–9, 2025. Our lab and clinical experts are leading an evolution in neurology diagnostics and are committed to staying at the forefront of discovery.
The fifth episode of “Life of a Specimen” video series highlights Joy Carol’s treatment journey after Mayo Clinic Laboratories antibody testing identified a paraneoplastic autoimmune disorder as the cause of her life-threatening symptoms.
After years of misdiagnosis, Tyler Hart found answers at Mayo Clinic, discovering he had NF155-IgG4 autoimmune nodopathy instead of CIDP
The fourth episode of “Life of a Specimen” video series explores the diagnosis enabled by antibody testing on Joy Carol’s cerebrospinal cord fluid and how her test result illuminated a path forward.
The third episode of “Life of a Specimen” video series discusses the integration that drives the development of innovative tests, including the movement disorders evaluation, at Mayo Clinic Laboratories.
Check out the second episode of “Life of a Specimen,” a video exploration of the complex path taken by patient samples through testing at Mayo Clinic Laboratories. In this episode, we hear about the quality processes and careful treatment given to each sample received for testing.
Check out the first episode of “Life of a Specimen,” a video series that examines the critical journey taken by patient samples through Mayo Clinic Laboratories testing. In this video, we learn about the profound impact of our testing on one extraordinary patient.
An order-entry, clinical decision support tool developed by physicians and scientists at Froedtert and the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) for clinicians within the healthcare system who order autoimmune and paraneoplastic antibody panels has significantly improved test utilization, resulting in a 28% reduction in monthly test volumes of impacted tests.
Performed on cerebrospinal fluid, Mayo Clinic’s RT-QuIC prion test can distinguish prion disease from other types of rapidly progressive dementias to enhance patient care.
This microlearning will help learners develop the ability to include autoimmune movement disorders and related phenomena as part of the differential diagnosis, gain proficiency in categorizing autoimmune movement disorders based on phenotype and clinical progression, and identify effective strategies for diagnosing and managing autoimmune movement disorders.
Justin Fugelsang and Zach Pedowitz have never met. Yet both young men were diagnosed with a rare form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, called sorbitol dehydrogenase (SORD) deficiency, and both found clarity through Mayo Clinic Laboratories' innovative SORD testing. Their journeys inspire resilience, as Justin has channeled his emotions into guitar playing, and Zach has embraced educational leadership.
