520 _ _ |a Neural autoantibodies are being increasingly detected in conjunction with neurodegenerative dementias such as Alzheimer's disease dementia (AD), yet their significance is not well clarified. In this case report, we report the previously unreported long-lasting persistence of potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A member 2 (KCNA2) antibodies in biomarker-supported AD.We report on a 77-year-old, male patient evaluated in our outpatient memory clinic of the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, University Medical Center Göttingen. Neuropsychological test results and autoantibody testing in serum over a period of 4-5 years is provided.Our patient exhibited mild dementia syndrome and was diagnosed with AD on the basis of a prototypical biomarker profile (reduced Aβ42/40 ratio and elevated p-tau181 protein in cerebrospinal fluid). Within a 5-year follow-up with regular visits to our memory clinic, we observed a nearly stable neuropsychological profile of mild, amnestic variant dementia that did not noticeably progress. KCNA2 autoantibodies were also detectable in serum over 4 years with increasing titers over time. Combined anti-dementia therapy with donepezil, multimodal therapy including non-pharmacological cognitive therapy, and immunotherapy with intravenous methylprednisolone was carried out as an individual treatment approach.KCNA2 autoantibody persistence in biomarker-supported AD does not necessarily trigger a poor outcome in the long-term, as cognitive impairment did not progress subsequently. At the same time, mild immunotherapy did not result in less immunoreactivity in conjunction with the detection of KCNA2 autoantibodies. This detection of KCNA2 autoantibodies in AD could provide indices of a potentially benign long-term AD course that should be further evaluated in studies.
