A multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis of antisynthetase syndrome
Antisynthetase syndrome is a subtype of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy, strongly associated with the presence of interstitial lung disease. Diagnosis is made by identifying myositis-specific antibodies directed against aminoacyl tRNA synthetase, and ...

An Exploratory Analysis of Antibody Dynamics in Isolated Organ Involvement of Antisynthetase Syndrome: A Single-Center Experience. [PDF]
Objective To characterize longitudinal anti–aminoacyl–tRNA synthetase (anti‐ARS) antibody kinetics in antisynthetase syndrome (ASyS) with isolated organ involvement (IOI) and examine associations with clinical trajectories versus multiple organ involvement (MOI).

Hypereosinophilia Associated With Antisynthetase Syndrome With Anti-Ro52/PL12 Co-Positivity: An Unusual Presentation. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Hypereosinophilia is uncommon in ASS and this presentation makes diagnosis more challenging. Anti‐PL12's role in the severity of ILD is controversial but its association with anti‐Ro52 seems to give a more serious disease phenotype. African ethnicity could be a negative prognostic factor, associated with lung disease severity.

Antisynthetase Syndrome Mimicking Pulmonary Infection: A Diagnostic Lesson From County-Managed Hospital. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Antisynthetase syndrome (ASS) is a rare chronic autoimmune disease classified as a distinct subtype of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy, characterized by the presence of anti–aminoacyl‐transfer RNA synthetase (anti‐ARS) antibodies. Typical clinical features include myositis, interstitial lung disease (ILD), arthritis, fever, mechanic's hands ...

Efficacy and safety of telitacicept in patients with progressive interstitial lung disease associated with antisynthetase syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, or Sjögren’s syndrome: a prospective observational study [PDF]
Background Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a severe complication of antisynthetase syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, and Sjögren’s syndrome, contributing significantly to patient mortality. Standard treatment options remain limited. This study evaluated

Case Report: Anti-PL-12 Antisynthetase syndrome complicated by natural killer/T cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma [PDF]
Antisynthetase syndrome (ASS) is a systemic autoimmune disorder classified as a subtype of the idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM). The condition is defined by the presence of mutually exclusive autoantibodies directed against an aminoacyl-tRNA ...

Clinical profiles associated with rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease in antisynthetase syndrome: A multicentric cohort study (TYPASS study). [PDF]
Abstract Objectives To assess factors associated with rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (ILD) (RP‐ILD) at time of ILD diagnosis in a multicentric retrospective cohort study of antisynthetase syndrome (ASyS). We used a complementary unsupervised approach, hierarchical clustering, to delineate distinct phenotypes among ASyS patients with ILD.

Reclassification of Seronegative Rheumatoid Arthritis as Anti-PL-12 Antisynthetase Syndrome with Interstitial Lung Disease and Joint Involvement–Case Report [PDF]
Background and Clinical Significance: Antisynthetase syndrome (ASyS) is a rare autoimmune entity defined by the presence of anti-aminoacyl-t ribonucleic acid (RNA) synthetase autoantibodies and classically associated with a triad of interstitial lung ...

Severe finger necrosis in antisynthetase syndrome with positive anti‐OJ antibodies [PDF]
Key Clinical Message In a patient with anti‐aminoacyl tRNA synthetase antibody and anti‐OJ antibody syndrome, interventions likes warming, prostaglandins, and antiplatelets failed. However, prednisolone pulse treatment rapidly halted disease progression.
