Anti\u2010NF155 nodopathy can resemble chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) but differs in its poor response to standard CIDP treatments such as intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and steroids, instead requiring B\u2010cell\u2013depleting therapies. A previously healthy 34\u2010year\u2010old male presented with a five\u2010to\u2010six week history of subacute sensory ataxia, symmetric proximal and distal weakness, and areflexia, preceded by right\u2010sided Bell\u2019s palsy. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis demonstrated albumin\u2010cytologic dissociation with a markedly elevated protein level of 485\u2009mg\/dL, and nerve conduction studies confirmed a demyelinating polyneuropathy. Despite treatment with IVIG and corticosteroids, he showed minimal improvement, and subsequent detection of Anti\u2010NF155 antibodies in serum established the diagnosis. He improved significantly with rituximab therapy and was able to walk unassisted at 1\u2010year follow\u2010up. Notably, his 13\u2010year\u2010old son presented with a similar clinical syndrome at the age of 8, characterized by progressive bilateral weakness, sensory ataxia, tremor, elevated CSF protein of 201\u2009mg\/dL, diffuse nerve root enhancement on MRI, and demyelinating polyneuropathy on electrophysiologic studies. He was initially treated as CIDP but failed to respond to IVIG and steroids, later testing positive for Anti\u2010NF155 antibodies, and has since achieved sustained improvement on rituximab maintenance every six months. This report emphasizes the possibility of genetic predisposition in the pathogenesis of Anti\u2010NF155 nodopathy and underscores the need for further investigation into familial and environmental factors contributing to disease susceptibility.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/crnm\/1397400","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,8]],"date-time":"2026-03-08T23:48:18Z","timestamp":1773013698000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Familial Occurrence of Anti\u2010NF155 Autoimmune Nodopathy in Father and Son: Expanding the Spectrum of IgG4\u2010Related Nodopathies"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2026","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3547-7453","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roopa","family":"Sharma","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-0762-3946","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ahmed","family":"Sabra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7575-1445","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Erin","family":"Feinstein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3219-3738","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Machteld E.","family":"Hillen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ene.14959"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_2","article-title":"Clinical and Laboratory Features in Anti-NF155 Autoimmune Nodopathy","volume":"9","author":"Mart\u00edn-Aguilar L.","year":"2021","journal-title":"Neurology Neuroimmunology & Neuroinflammation"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/acn3.51550"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/nxg.0000000000200019"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_2","volume-title":"Entry #601065","author":"Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM)"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12974-017-0996-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jneuroim.2019.577139"}],"container-title":["Case Reports in Neurological Medicine"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1155\/crnm\/1397400","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1155\/crnm\/1397400","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1155\/crnm\/1397400","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,16]],"date-time":"2026-07-16T14:50:38Z","timestamp":1784213438000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1155\/crnm\/1397400"}},"subtitle":[],"editor":[{"given":"Semonti","family":"Nandi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"editor"}]}],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,1]]},"references-count":7,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2026,1]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1155\/crnm\/1397400"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/crnm\/1397400","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["2090-6668","2090-6676"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2090-6668","type":"print"},{"value":"2090-6676","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,1]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2025-04-04","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2026-02-09","order":2,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2026-02-23","order":3,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}],"article-number":"1397400"}}
