| Description |
Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) is an enzyme implicated in the formation of ?-aminobutiric acid (GABA) through glutamic acid decarboxylation. Autoantibodies against GAD have been found in a host of neurological conditions, including patients with nystagmus. An encounter with a patient prompted a broad review of this subject and opened an avenue for potential treatment. |
