Malignancy and idiopathic inflammatory myopathies

North American Journal of Medical Sciences, 2013
Association between idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) and malignancy is well known and has been extensively reported in the literature. However, in the recent years, several new studies were published allowing us to better understand the clinical characteristics and pathophysiology of cancer-associated IIMs.

Update on the genetics of the idiopathic inflammatory myopathies [PDF]

Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 2000
A number of lines of investigation suggest that, as is likely the case for other autoimmune diseases, the idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) develop as a result of specific environmental exposures in genetically susceptible individuals. Current data imply that multiple genes are involved in the etiology of these complex disorders.
