The expression of IgM antibodies in patients with IBS or dysmotility.

	GnRH1 n (%)	PROGONADOLIBERIN-2 n (%)	GnRH RECEPTOR n (%)
IBS-A (n = 11)	4 (36)	3 (27)	2 (18)
IBS-C (n = 8)		1 (12)
IBS-D (n = 6)
ED (n = 12)	2 (17)		1 (8)
CIPO (n = 5)			1 (2)
Gastroparesis (n = 3)

Note: The cut-off value to define the expression of antibodies in the healthy blood donors was set to relative unit (RU) >97.5th percentile.

Abbreviations: CIPO, chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction; ED, enteric dysmotility; GnRH, gonadotropin-releasing hormone; IBS-A, alternating type of IBS; IBS-C, constipation-predominant IBS; IBS-D, diarrhea-predominant IBS; n, number.
