abstract = {Anti-IgLON5 disease is an autoimmune encephalitis that
presents with a heterogenous clinical phenotype, including
sleep disorders, movement abnormalities and bulbar
involvement. It is characterized by autoantibodies against
IgLON5, $85\%$ association with HLA-DQB1*05:∼ and a
brainstem-dominant tauopathy. Cellular and murine models
report pathogenic effects of the autoantibodies, and
neurodegenerative factors suggest progressive atrophy as a
common sequela. However, evidence from in vivo patient data
and long-term follow-up is limited, and the degree of
progression remains elusive. In this multicentre study,
clinical and brain MRI data were collected from 127 patients
across 12 countries to investigate the relationships between
clinical presentations and the development of distinct brain
atrophy patterns. Our data show that most patients develop a
complex multisystem phenotype as the disease progresses;
however, neuromuscular manifestations rarely emerge at later
disease stages. By comparison to healthy controls, this
disease presents with severe substructure-specific atrophy,
especially affecting the hypothalamus, brainstem, accumbens
and basal ganglia, which, in age-independent analyses, show
significant ventricular enlargement and also suggest
progression of brainstem atrophy over the disease course.
Moreover, the focality of atrophy was functionally linked to
specific symptoms, with more severe involvement of the basal
ganglia in patients with movement disorders, and greater
atrophy in the hippocampus and thalamus in patients with
cognitive impairment. Taken together, our results provide
evidence of distinct atrophy patterns in anti-IgLON5
disease, which closely mirror sites of pathophysiologic
processes, including autoantibody binding and tau
deposition. Our data emphasize the brainstem as the
pathophysiological hub of the disease and provide normative
data for the incorporation of atrophy measurements into
routine clinical assessments and future treatment studies to
monitor disease trajectory and evaluate future treatment
strategies.},
