DOI: 10.1007/s10072-017-3133-0
Abstract: Previous case reports and studies have shown that anti-myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) antibody can be detected in patients with polyneuropathy without any detectable M-protein. Nevertheless, the frequency of and related factors have not yet been adequately… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jneuroim.2019.577094
Abstract: BACKGROUND/PURPOSE In anti-myelin associated glycoprotein (anti-MAG) neuropathies, there is evidence that anti-MAG antibodies are pathogenic but numerous studies report the absence or a weak correlation between the titers of these antibodies and disease course. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/bcr-2020-240242
Abstract: A previously fit and well 76-year-old man, presented with distal lower limb sensory symptoms suggestive of peripheral sensory neuropathy, associated with positive anti-MAG antibodies (myelin associated glycoprotein) and IgM paraprotein. Bone marrow biopsy showed lymphoplasmocytoid… read more here.
