HLA Analysis in Autoimmune Encephalitis and Related Disorders: Part II

"This is a non-interventional study involving biological samples (DNA). Samples are already stored in biobank repositories and collected as part of good clinical practice in the diagnostic process of patients with suspected autoimmune encephalitis, meaning that the standard diagnostic and therapeutic approaches will not be altered in the selected study population. Patients have already gave explicit written consent for biological specimens sampling and storage at the Centre de Ressources Biologiques des Hospices Civils de Lyon (CRB-HCL)/NeuroBioTec (including tissue, cells or biological fluids) and genetic analysis for research purposes (e.g. involving genes related to the disease for which the patient was followed). Additionally, patients will be informed about the present study."
