Diseases

schizophrenia-like psychosis[21]

GlcA-P gene implicated as a cindidate for a schizophrenia-like psychosis.[21]
Some patients with neuropathy have IgM M-proteins that bind to miyelin and to MAG.[22][23]
The HNK-1 epitope may be of pathogenetic significance in some common and clinically important eye diseases, such as exfoliation syndrome and secondary cataract.[24]
