Friday, October 7, 2022

PORTSMOUTH, N.H., Oct. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Researchers from the US and the Netherlands released new findings at a symposium in Portsmouth, New Hampshire that could impact future testing for post-infectious neuropsychiatric disorders called PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcus) and PANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome)

Key Points: 
  • Says Lachman, "These problems create PANS skepticism among physicians, preventing PANS patients from getting proper care.
  • One way to address this conundrum is to identify genes that might be involved in the predisposition to develop PANS."
  • In addition, overlap was found between the mutations that increase PANS susceptibility with autism spectrum disorders and immune disorders.
  • The team released their findings at the symposium, entitled PANDAS/PANS: Recognizing, Understanding and Treating Immune-Mediated Neuropsychiatric Disorders in Portsmouth, New Hampshire last week.
