GAD65 Ab is consistent with predisposition to thyrogastric disorders, including thyroiditis, pernicious anaemia and type 1 diabetes, but has low specificity for autoimmune encephalopathy. GAD65 antibody values less than 2.00 nM have a lower positive predictive value for neurological autoimmunity than values of 20.0 nM and higher.
