Analysis of detection rates (proportion of seropositive individuals defined by decade of age) of aquaporin-4 (AQP4)–IgG in females and males revealed a higher detection rate for females compared with males. An increased likelihood of detecting AQP4 autoimmunity was found in females after age 50 years, with the female detection rate increasing exponentially from ages 51 to 60 years.
