Since early 2000s, anti-AQP4 antibodies and anti-MOG antibodies have emerged as specific biomarkers for "seropositive" and "seronegative" NMOSD, respectively. Nowadays, several clinical phenotypes have also been shown to be associated with the latter antibodies, segregating "MOG-related disorders". This symposium aims to share and discuss the information about cutting-edge advances in NMOSD and MOG-related disorders, with respect to both treatment and research.
