What is this code?

LOINC codes identify tests, measurements, observations, survey items, and clinical questions in a standardized way. It is associated with the component Neuronal nuclear type 2 Ab. It is commonly used with the system or sample type CSF.

When is it used?

  • Used in lab systems, EHRs, and clinical data exchange.
  • May identify a test, observation, survey item, or clinical document request rather than a diagnosis.
  • Status: ACTIVE
  • Order vs observation: Both

What it does not mean

  • The code identifies the observation or test, not the actual result.

Key facts

Neuronal nuclear type 2 Ab [Titer] in Cerebral spinal fluid
Neuronal nuclear type 2 Ab
Antineuronal Nuclear Antibody (ANNA) Type 2 Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Titer. This antibody recognizes a set of protein antigens of 55 and 80 kD found in neuronal cell nuclei. Patients usually present with signs of midbrain, brain stem, cerebellar and/or spinal cord dysfunction. Ocular opsoclonus-myoclonus may be a symptom. Para neoplastic opsoclonus, which is characterized by involuntary rapid movement of the eyes in both vertical and horizontal planes, is most often associated with breast cancer and SCLC (small lung cell carcinoma). The autoantibody has also been detected in patients with bladder and cervical cancer. Paraneoplastic syndromes are autoantibody-mediated neurologic disorders associated with underlying tumors. These syndromes arise when systemic tumors express antigens normally found only in neural tissues. Information from http//www.clinlabnavigator.com accessed 2008 14 02.
