Abstract Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) are a diverse group of autoantibodies found in various systemic autoimmune disorders. They represent a key diagnostic marker in the diagnosis of connective tissue disorders (CTD). Although many techniques exist, ANA by indirect immunofluorescence remains the gold standard for diagnosing CTDs. Neurologists should be aware of the type of assay used for detection and the advantages and disadvantages of using each method. Through this article, we aimed to review the methodological aspects of the detection of ANA and its subtypes and their clinical relevance in various neurologic disorders.
