About this test

The anti-GAD65 test by CLIA detects antibodies against glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD65), an enzyme found in insulin-producing pancreatic cells and nerve cells.

A normal result is negative, below the lab’s cut-off value.

A positive result indicates autoimmune diabetes, including type 1 diabetes and LADA (latent autoimmune diabetes in adults), often misdiagnosed as type 2. It helps predict the need for insulin and identify at-risk family members.

Very high levels are linked to neurological conditions such as stiff person syndrome, autoimmune epilepsy, and cerebellar ataxia.
