Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) is an inflammatory demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system characterised by heterogeneous clinical and radiological presentations. Accurate interpretation of serum anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (anti-MOG) antibody titres is critical to improve diagnostic precision and prognostic assessment. This single-centre retrospective study evaluated 19 patients diagnosed with MOGAD in 2023, all of whom were seropositive for anti-MOG IgG, as confirmed by live cell-based assays (CBAs) using full-length human MOG and IgG1-specific secondary antibodies. Antibody quantification combined a ratiometric semi-quantitative fluorescence index with classical endpoint dilution titres, enabling classification into low, medium, and high titre groups. Stratification revealed titre-dependent phenotypic heterogeneity: high-titre patients were older at onset and predominantly presented with optic neuritis, often bilateral, and encephalic involvement, whereas low-titre patients more frequently exhibited spinal cord syndromes, cerebellar or brainstem symptoms, and a higher prevalence of cerebrospinal fluid-restricted oligoclonal bands. Semi-quantitative fluorescence ratios correlated consistently with endpoint titres, and exponential decay analysis demonstrated slower signal loss in high-titre sera, confirming assay reliability. No significant association emerged between titre level and monophasic versus relapsing disease course. Anti-MOG antibody titres could serve not only as a diagnostic biomarker but also to capture clinically relevant immunopathological diversity, supporting a titre-stratified approach to diagnosis and early prognostication. Incorporating semi-quantitative metrics alongside clinical and imaging features may refine the diagnostic algorithm and prevent misclassification of atypical presentations.
