Recombinant BP230-C3 is a suitable target antigen for the detection of serum autoantibodies against BP230.

We describe a case of an anti-ATP1A3-associated neurologic disorder. Mutations in the gene encoding this neuronal surface protein have already been recognized as the cause of infantile alternating hemiplegia, rapid-onset dystonia parkinsonism, and CAPOS syndrome. Although the autoantibodies are unlikely to be pathogenic, they are likely to be rare biomarkers for the apparently paraneoplastic neurologic syndrome or for the tumor itself.
