Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a rare but debilitating and frequently fatal viral disease of the central nervous system, primarily affecting individuals with chronically and severely suppressed immune systems. The disease was relatively obscure until the outbreak of HIV/AIDS, when it presented as one of the more frequent opportunistic infections in this immune deficiency syndrome. It attracted additional attention from the medical and scientific community following the discovery of significant PML risk associated with natalizumab, a monoclonal antibo...

Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy
48-year-old female with a history of HIV/AIDS who presented to the ER with gradual decline in mental status. There is a confluent region of T1-hypointense and T2/FLAIR-hyperientense signal in the subcortical, periventricular and deep white matter of the right frontal lobe. There is very minimal mass effect on the overlying cerebral cortical sulci. The signal abnormality extends via the genu and anterior body of the corpus callosum to involve the white matter of the left frontal region. On the T2-weighted images, there are scattered regions of cystic change within the lesion. There are no suspicious regions of diffusion restriction or hyperperfusion to suggest high grade glioma or lymphoma. There is also no suspicious postcontrast enhancement. The imaging findings are most consistent with a...

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a rare but debilitating and frequently fatal viral disease of the central nervous system, primarily affecting individuals with chronically and severely suppressed immune systems. The disease was relatively obscure until the outbreak of HIV/AIDS, when it presented as one of the more frequent opportunistic infections in this immune deficiency syndrome. It attracted additional attention from the medical and scientific community following the discovery of significant PML risk associated with natalizumab, a monoclonal antibody used for treatment of relapsing–remitting multiple sclerosis. This was followed by association of PML with other immunosuppressive or immunomodulating drugs. Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy is currently untreatable disease with poor outcomes, so it is a significant concern when developing new immunotherapies. Current prophylaxis and treatment of PML are focused on immune reconstitution, restoration of immune responses to JC virus infection, and eventual suppression of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome. This approach was successful in reducing the incidence of Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy and improved survival of PML patients with HIV infection. However, the outcome for the majority of PML patients, regardless of their medical history, is still relatively poor. There is a high unmet need for both prophylaxis and treatment of Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy.

48-year-old female with a history of HIV/AIDS who presented to the ER with gradual decline in mental status. There is a confluent region of T1-hypointense and T2/FLAIR-hyperientense signal in the subcortical, periventricular and deep white matter of the right frontal lobe. There is very minimal mass effect on the overlying cerebral cortical sulci. The signal abnormality extends via the genu and anterior body of the corpus callosum to involve the white matter of the left frontal region. On the T2-weighted images, there are scattered regions of cystic change within the lesion. There are no suspicious regions of diffusion restriction or hyperperfusion to suggest high grade glioma or lymphoma. There is also no suspicious postcontrast enhancement. The imaging findings are most consistent with a diagnosis of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, or PML for short. PML is a demyelinating disease resulting from oligodendrocyte infection with the JC virus. PML may be seen in any immunocompromised patient, but most commonly affects those with HIV/AIDS, transplant patients, and those with leukemia.

I was intrigued when I heard about a free genetic test on the podcast Real Talk MS with John Strum. Prevention Genetics is offering a complimentary genetic test which can provide useful information to individuals with compromised immune systems, which often includes those of us with multiple sclerosis (MS). Given that many MS drugs are immune-suppressing, this test can also benefit individuals undergoing cancer treatments or those being treated for HIV.
The Importance of Monitoring JC Virus Levels
For those with compromised immune systems, it's crucial to be aware of our JC virus levels. The JC virus is surprisingly common—I've heard that 50% of people have it by the time they're 20 years old. Typically, it remains dormant in the body. However, in people with weakened immune systems, the JC virus can become active and potentially lead to a fatal disease called Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML).
PML is a devastating condition where individuals lose their ability to use their arms and legs, experience vision problems, and even suffer from dementia. This deterioration can occur over nine months to two years. There is no treatment or cure. The threat of PML is significant for those of us on immune-suppressing MS treatments. In some cases, people have had to discontinue their medication due to high JC virus levels and switch to a different disease-modifying drug. Some even avoid MS treatments altogether because of the PML risk.
Genetic Testing for PML Risk
Here's where Prevention Genetics' free genetic test comes into play. This test identifies four mutations linked to a higher likelihood of developing PML. Interestingly, the connection between these mutations and PML risk is stronger than the link between BRCA gene mutations and breast cancer. Given this information, I saw this as a valuable opportunity to understand my own risk better.
How to Get Your Free PML Risk Test Kit
To get your free PML risk test kit, visit pmlrisktest.org. The process is straightforward, and I'll walk you through my experience. Important instructions include:
- Do not eat, drink, smoke, brush your teeth, or chew gum for 30 minutes before collecting your sample.
- The collection process involves spitting into a tube, capping it, and shaking it well.
- Everything is done through an ID number to maintain anonymity, and your name is never included in the packaging.
- The kit comes with prepaid return packaging, and it took about three weeks for my results to arrive.
Making Informed Treatment Decisions
The good news from my test results is that out of the four PML risk variants tested, zero were detected. While this doesn't mean my risk is zero, it does give me more confidence in the risk-benefit analysis of using immune-compromising treatments for my MS.
I'll share more insights as I continue to navigate life with MS. If you're considering this test, I highly recommend it—knowledge is power, especially when it comes to making informed decisions about our health.
Stay tuned for more updates, and feel free to share your experiences or questions in the comments below.
