ABSTRACT:
This invention provides methods of diagnosing or determining a cause of an autoimmune encephalitis or an epilepsy in a subject and of diagnosing a tumor in a subject, comprising the step of testing a biological sample of the subject for an antibody to an NR1 subunit of the NMDA receptor. This invention further provides methods of treating an autoimmune encephalitis or an epilepsy, comprising the steps of detecting an antibody to an NR1 subunit of the NMDA receptor and treating a tumor associated with the disease.
