Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Myositis specific autoantibodies (MSAs) correlate with a distinct clinical phenotype of juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM). This study aims to compare the clinical features of JDM patients with positive anti-NXP2, anti-MDA5 and anti-TIF1γ autoantibodies, and differences in juvenile (JDM) and adult dermatomyositis. METHODS: This study included 18 NXP2+ JDM patients, 12 MDA5+ JDM patients, 12 TIF1γ+ JDM...
