Investigating idiopathic inflammatory myopathy; initial cross speciality experience with use of the extended myositis antibody panel

, 2017
The discovery of unique autoantibodies has informed and altered our approach to the diagnosis and management of the inflammatory myopathies. This study reports the initial clinical experience of use of the Extended Myositis Antibody (EMA) panel in the ...

Physical therapy in adult inflammatory myopathy patients: a systematic review

, 2019
The safety and effect of physical therapy in adult patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) are currently unclear. Considering the muscle weakness resulting from disease activity as well as from the administered drugs, these patients could

Human leukocyte antigen in Japanese patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy

, 2019
Objective: The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) is the strongest genetic risk factor for idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM), and different HLA alleles have been reported to be associated with IIM susceptibility among different ethnic groups.

The PTPN22 gene is associated with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy

, 2017
The aim of this study was to determine whether a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (1858CT, R620W) in the protein tyrosine phosphatase N22 (PTPN22) gene confers susceptibility to idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) in South Australian (SA) patients
