Research

Mayo Clinic researchers in neuroregeneration and neurorehabilitation and other areas study causes, genetics, new diagnostic tests and treatments for neuromyelitis optica and related conditions.

Staff in the Center for Multiple Sclerosis and Autoimmune Neurology conducts research in neuromyelitis optica, multiple sclerosis and related conditions.

Mayo Clinic researchers discovered an autoantibody, NMO-IgG, which is a specific marker for NMO. Testing for this antibody can help diagnose NMO in an early stage and distinguish it from multiple sclerosis (MS) and other conditions.
