Values indicate number of patients (female, male and total) per group (normal and elevated IgG4), percentages indicate percent of females, males or total of both groups (normal and elevated IgG4).

Ab, antibody; Caspr1, contactin-associated protein-like 1; Caspr2, contactin-associated protein-like 2; CNTN1, contactin 1; IgG4, immunoglobulin type G subclass 4; IgG4-AID, IgG4 autoimmune disease; IgG4-RLD, IgG4-related disease; LGI1, leucine-rich glioma inactivated protein- 1; MuSK, muscle-specific kinase; NF155, neurofascin 155; pan-NF Ab pos, positive for pan neurofascin antibodies; pos, positive.

Bold values indicate the percentage of elevated serum IgG4 concentration in IgG4-RLD and in IgG4-AID.
