Abstract:
Markers have been described in type1 diabetes, a number of specific and non- specific antigens have been identified. The major auto-antigens involved in the destructive process of beta-cells leading to the development of type 1 diabetes are insulin hormone and glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD).  This study was conducted to find the relationship between antibodies for this antigens and T1DM which can be used for the early detection of T1DM in normal Iraqi patients. The study was carried out on 80 samples (50 men and 30 women) with age ranged from (20– 60 years old), they are divided

Abstract:
Anti-GAD antibody syndrome is a result of the production of antibodies against glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), the main enzyme responsible for the production of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Several neurological manifestations including cerebellar ataxia and stiff person syndrome have been reported in association with anti-GAD antibodies. In this paper, we present a case of a young woman with anti-GAD antibodies who initially presented with cerebellar ataxia followed by stiff person syndrome three and a half years later.

Abstract:
Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) is an intracellular enzyme whose physiologic function is the decarboxylation of glutamate to gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), the main inhibitory neurotransmitter within the central nervous system. GAD antibodies (Ab) have been associated with multiple neurological syndromes, including stiff-person syndrome, cerebellar ataxia, and limbic encephalitis, which are all considered to result from reduced GABAergic transmission. The pathogenic role of GAD Ab is still debated, and some evidence suggests that GAD autoimmunity might primarily be cell-mediated. Diagnosis

Abstract:
Background: The conversion of glutamic acid into γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is catalyzed by the glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD). Antibodies against this enzyme have been described in neurological disorders, but the pathophysiological role of these antibodies is still poorly understood. We hypothesized that anti-GAD autoantibodies could diminish the GABA content in the slice and facilitate epileptic activity. Methods: Cerebrospinal fluids (CSF) from two patients containing anti-GAD (A and B) were injected into the rat hippocampus in vivo. Hippocampal slices were prepared for electrophysiologi

Antibodies against glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), originally linked to stiff person syndrome (SPS), now denote the “ GAD antibody-spectrum disorders” ( GAD-SD) that also include autoimmune epilepsy, limbic encephalitis, cerebellar ataxia and nystagmus with overlapping symptomatology highlighting autoimmune neuronal excitability disorders. The reasons for the clinical heterogeneity among GAD-antibody associated syndromes remain still unsettled, implicating variable susceptibility of GABAergic neurons to anti-GAD or other still unidentified autoantibodies.

Antiglutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD)-associated disorders are a group of rare neuroimmunological disorders that encompass an expanding spectrum of neurological syndromes. The pathophysiology of these disorders is not well understood, although the presence of very high levels of antibodies to GAD is indicative of immunological dysfunction. The most well-known disease within this class of disorders is stiff-person syndrome (SPS), which often manifests as painful spasms, stiffness/rigidity in axial and limb musculature, and increased lumbar lordosis.
