Description

The diagnosis of Stiff man Syndrome (also called Stiff person syndrome) is based on the detection of autoantibodies which react against both of the two isoforms of Glutamate Decarboxylase (GAD I (GAD 67 kD) and GAD II (GAD 65 kD).

Anti-GAD antibodies have also been detected in patients with neurological disorders other than Stiff man Syndrome such as degenerative cerebellar ataxia, epilepsy and palatal myoclonus.
