This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Community: Knowledge & Support

First it was Neuromyelitis Optica. It was set appart from MS when anti-AQP4 antibodies were found to be specific of this kind of disease.

Then it came "anti-MOG associated encephalomyelitis". It was found that only very atypical MS could present anti-MOG antibodies, and now it is considered a separate disease.

And it has happened again. Around 2% of MS patients have auto-antibodies against a specific protein named flotillin. It seems that anti-flotilin patients will make a new different group.
