GAD 65 Antibody Test Overview
Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD65) is an enzyme that is produced primarily by pancreatic islet cells. Patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) often have antibodies to GAD65 and several other islet cell antigens.
The GAD65 antibody is a biomarker of autoimmune central nervous system (CNS) disorders and, more commonly, non-neurological autoimmune diseases, like Type 1 diabetes, autoimmune thyroid disease, and pernicious anemia.
Anti-GAD-65 paraneoplastic syndrome is a rare neurological disorder caused by the immune system attacking the body's nervous system, specifically the GAD-65 protein. The GAD-65 protein is an enzyme that is involved in the production of a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which helps to regulate the communication between nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.
In the case of anti-GAD-65 paraneoplastic syndrome, the immune system produces antibodies against the GAD-65 protein, leading to a reduction in GABA production and disrupting nerve cell communication.
The paraneoplastic aspect of this syndrome means that it is associated with certain types of cancer, typically small-cell lung cancer, breast cancer, or ovarian cancer. In some cases, anti-GAD-65 antibodies are produced as part of the body's immune response to the cancer, rather than as a direct result of the cancer itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
GAD-65 antibody is useful to diagnose Insulin dependent Diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and development of related endocrine disorders like Thyroiditis. It is also used to diagnose Stiff Man syndrome & automimmune encephalitis.
This test is performed for patients suspected of suffering from autoimmune diseases like Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus, Stiff Man syndrome & autoimmune encephalitis.
Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD65) is an enzyme that is produced primarily by pancreatic islet cells. Patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) often have antibodies to GAD65 and several other islet cell antigens. Also High serum levels of antibodies to the synaptic enzyme glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD-abs) is a very sensitive biomarker of stiff-person syndrome (SPS) and have also been described in subgroups of patients with limbic encephalitis (LE), cerebellar ataxia,epilepsy, and isolated cases of palatal tremor, as well as downbeat or periodic alternating nystagmus. Patients with GAD-abs must be screened for an underlying cancer if they have clinical presentations different from those typically associated with this autoimmunity or develop classic PNS.
