  • Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) can mimic multiple sclerosis (MS). Avoiding misdiagnosis is crucial, because some disease-modifying drugs for MS can aggravate NMOSD, causing blindness and paraplegia. A recent study reports that misdiagnosis of NMOSD as MS occasionally occurs, and that a two-step antibody assay could improve differential diagnosis.

  • Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease is an immune-mediated demyelinating disease that is distinct from multiple sclerosis but shares some of its characteristics. This Expert Recommendation, based on a Magnetic Resonance Imaging in MS workshop, proposes a diagnostic algorithm for the differential diagnosis of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease and multiple sclerosis, using serological, imaging and clinical features.

  • A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of phenotypic variation for height and body mass index in human populations using 170,000 samples shows that one single nucleotide polymorphism at the FTO locus, which is associated with obesity, is also associated with phenotypic variation.

  • Despite widespread damage associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) pathology, recovery of function can occur, driven by adaptive plasticity in brain networks. Tomassini et al. review the mechanisms underlying functional recovery in MS, and discuss interventions that might promote this process. Methodological considerations for imaging neuroplasticity using functional MRI are also highlighted.

  • In this Review, MAGNIMS provides an update on the imaging features that differentiate multiple sclerosis (MS) from its most common imaging mimics and a summary of the red-flag MRI features that indicate a diagnosis other than MS.

  • Gonçalo Abecasis and colleagues report associations with fasting plasma glucose levels in a collection of ten genome–wide association scans from the MAGIC consortium. They find variants in the gene encoding melatonin receptor 1B that are associated with fasting glucose levels and, in a meta-analysis of 13 case-control studies, also show association with increased risk of type 2 diabetes.
