Abstract excerpt
We performed a genome-wide association study in 1,194 controls and 150 patients with anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (anti-NMDAR, n = 96) or anti-leucine-rich glioma-inactivated1 (anti-LGI1, n = 54) autoimmune encephalitis. Anti-LGI1 encephalitis was highly associated with 27 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the HLA-II region (leading SNP rs2858870 p = 1.22 × 10-17 , OR = 13.66 [7.50-24.87])....
