These nerves extend from the retina in the back of the eyes to the part of the brain that processes what we see. In myelin oligodendrocyte glycoproten antibody disease (MOGAD), they may be the target of inflammation or lesions, sometimes causing visual disruption or blindness. that may

Now that I have been diagnosed with Myelin Oligodendrocyte GlycoproteinA type of protein involved in cell adhesion. Present throughout myelin sheaths. Antibody DiseaseOften referred to as MOGADOften referred to as MOGAD, Anti-MOG, MOG Ab+, MOG Antibody Disease, MOG Associated Antibody Disease, MOG positive disease , Anti-MOG, MOG Ab+, MOG Antibody DiseaseOften referred to as MOGAD, Anti-MOG, MOG Ab+, MOG Antibody Disease, MOG Associated Antibody Disease, MOG positive disease , MOGA type of protein involved in cell adhesion. Present throughout myelin sheaths. Associated AntibodyA protective protein produced by your immune system that attaches to antigens (foreign substances), such as bacteria and toxins, and removes them from your body.
