Autoantibodies to glutamic acid decarboxylase in three patients with cerebellar ataxia, late-onset insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, and polyendocrine autoimmunity

Abstract

These findings suggest a link of GAD autoimmunity not only with SMS but also with cerebellar dysfunction. GAD-Abs should be sought in patients with cerebellar ataxia who have late-onset IDDM and other organ-specific autoimmune manifestations.
