LOINC description : Glial Nuclear Antibody (AGNA) Type 1 antibody is a marker found in paraneoplastic
syndrome associated with small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC). It is also closely associated
with paraneoplastic Lambert-Eaton Myasthenia Syndrome (LEMS). There appears to be
a tight association between AGNA and voltage-gated calcium channel antibodies in patients
with SCLC. Patients with AGNA have characteristic nuclear staining of the Bergmann
glia in the Purkinje cell layer of the cerebellum. Information from Paraneoplastic
limbic encephalitis associated with potassium channel antibodies: value of anti-glial
