Leading
the way
Testing developed
by neurologists, for neurologists
Neurology testing is rapidly evolving, with increasing numbers of clinically relevant biomarkers discovered each year. Our laboratory collaborates closely with the practice and is designed to offer the most complex, clinically validated testing. Our disease experts support health care professionals in test selection and results interpretation to ensure proper test utilization and the highest quality of care. These physicians are committed to research and discovery to pave the way for the future of neurology testing.

Advancing the
science
Novel biomarker discoveries occur at a rapid pace, and we are at the forefront of research that integrates these findings into our testing. We were the first laboratory to develop disease-specific evaluations, and our patient care experience gives us the expertise to develop tests that deliver clinically relevant answers.
The largest neurology-specific test menu
Our highly specialized test menu provides answers for everything from the simplest to the most complex cases — and much of this testing is not available anywhere else.
Access to Mayo Clinic expertise
Our laboratories are led by clinical neurologists who have extensive experience in using testing to guide and directly impact patient care. These experts interpret each evaluation, providing clinically actionable answers, not just results.
Advancing the search for KLHL11 protein biomarkers
The groundbreaking discovery that testicular cancer-associated paraneoplastic encephalitis is caused by KLHL11 autoantibodies — by a team of researchers that included Mayo Clinic scientists — paved the way for development of the assay. The innovative test first screens patients for KLHL11 proteins through a mechanized, cell-based assay that utilizes cutting-edge, slide-scanner technology, then employs tissue immunofluorescence to confirm presence of the protein, which exudes a unique "sparkles" pattern.
The latest
Join Mayo Clinic’s autoimmune neurology testing leaders for a live Zoom Q&A discussion as they discuss the rationale behind and benefits of Mayo Clinic Laboratories’ streamlined, phenotype-specific approach to testing for autoimmune neurological disorders.
Alicia Algeciras, Ph.D., describes Mayo Clinic Laboratories’ new blood test to detect NFLC, or neurofilament light chain protein. NFLC is a biomarker for several neurodegenerative conditions. The new assay can determine if a patient’s cognitive decline is due to a neurodegenerative condition or some other, reversible condition — while avoiding the need for more-invasive testing of cerebral spinal fluid.
Mayo Clinic Laboratories is leading an evolution in autoimmune neurology diagnosis. To better reflect this testing evolution, and to reduce confusion and improve utilization for our clients, effective April 28, we are renaming our phenotype-specific evaluations.
Andrew McKeon, M.B., B.Ch., M.D., an expert in neuroimmunology, joins the "Answers From the Lab" podcast for a conversation with Bobbi Pritt, M.D. In this episode, Dr. McKeon and Dr. Pritt discuss how Mayo Clinic is pioneering advancements in the field of autoimmune neurology, how these discoveries were made, and why they are important to both patients and physicians.
PACE/State of CA/State of FL - Presentation Recording Coming Soon -
This “Specialty Testing” webinar will discuss the considerations physicians must weigh when evaluating suspected neuropathy patients with special emphasis put on small-fiber neuropathy and the most appropriate laboratory testing related to that phenotype.
