Cutaneous involvement in anti-HMGCR positive necrotizing myopathy

open access: yesJournal of Autoimmunity, 2021
Anti-3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR) positive immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) is a rare disease. It is induced by exogenous substances, most often by statins. Little is known about cutaneous manifestations of HMGCR positive IMNM and about HMGCR antibody positivity in other diseases.The characteristics of patients ...

Anti-HMGCR antibodies and asymptomatic hyperCKemia. A case report.

open access: yesActa myologica : myopathies and cardiomyopathies : official journal of the Mediterranean Society of Myology, 2021
Anti-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR) related myositis is a form of immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM). Anti-HMGCR autoantibodies target HMGCR, a glycoprotein linked to the endoplasmic reticulum implied in the cholesterol synthesis pathway, and exert a pathogenic effect on skeletal muscle cells. More than 60% of patients

Autoimmune necrotising myopathy and HMGCR antibodies

open access: yesPractical Neurology, 2018
Statins lower serum cholesterol concentrations by inhibiting the enzyme 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR). Muscle side effects are relatively common and include asymptomatic elevation of serum creatine kinase (CK), myalgia, proximal muscle weakness and rhabdomyolysis. More recently, a subset of cases of immune-mediated necrotising

Atypical presentation of anti-HMGCR myopathy

BMJ Case Reports, 2021
Immune-mediated necrotising myopathy is a subtype of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy characterised by muscle fibre necrosis without significant inflammatory infiltrate. Anti-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR) myopathy is seen in 6%–10% of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy and is diagnosed in the context of elevated serum creatine ...

Statins and myositis: the role of anti-HMGCR antibodies

Expert Review of Clinical Immunology, 2015
Muscle toxicity is a recognized adverse effect of statin use. Recently, a new myositis syndrome was described in association with antibodies directed against the pharmacologic target of statins, anti-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (anti-HMGCR antibody).

Anti-HMGCR and anti-DFS70 antibodies immunofluorescence patterns

Autoimmunity Reviews, 2017
We have replicated the findings of Alvarado-Cardenas et al. in our cohort of anti-HMGCR myositis patients, confirming the high specificity and sensibility of the rat liver IF pattern, especially when compared to the previously reported HEp-2 anti-HMGCR pattern.
