Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody disease (MOGAD) is a condition that causes inflammation in the nervous system. In MOGAD, antibodies attack a protein called myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)
Patients with persistently positive antibodies to MOG are at risk for recurrent events.
Signs & amp; Symptoms
MOG antibody disease preferentially causes inflammation in the optic nerve, but can also cause inflammation in the spinal cord, brain, and brainstem.
Symptoms can include:
• Loss or blurring of vision in one or both eyes
• Loss of color vision
• Paralysis (no motor function) of a limb or limbs
• Paraparesis (weakness) of a limb or limbs
• Loss of sensation
• Loss of bladder or bowel control
