Journal: Linking Downbeat Nystagmus and Aquaporin-4-Positive Neuromyelitis Optica: A Closer Look at Their Hidden Relationship. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 20, 2024 NMO may be associated with antibodies selective for aquaporin-4 (AQP4), a water channel located within the optic nerves and spinal cord.AQP4 is distributed in the periventricular region, corpus callosum, magnocellular nuclei of the hypothalamus, and brain stem.Downbeat nystagmus (DBN) is associated with structural, metabolic, and autoimmune disorders, but is rarely reported in NMO.We treated a 33-year-old female with known AQP4-positive NMO who presented with new-onset DBN. We review the literature and discuss possible mechanisms and lesion locations hypothetically responsible for the symptoms and signs.

Since 2015, evidence has accumulated to support off-label biotherapies (rituximab and tocilizumab) and to approve satralizumab, inebilizumab, eculizumab, and ravulizumab...The current consensus proposes positioning the approved drugs as first-line treatments for newly-diagnosed patients and as alternative therapies in case of failure of historical treatment. Yet, there has been limited acceptance in practice due to high drug prices.

(Pubmed Central) - Dec 17, 2023 Previously, the F allele polymorphism at amino acid 158 of the FCGR3A gene (F158) was shown to decrease IgG-binding affinity and reduce rituximab (anti-CD20) efficacy for NMOSD attack prevention. In contrast, our current findings from inebilizumab-treated NMOSD patients indicate similar clinical outcomes between those with F158 and V158 allele genotypes.
