Phenotypical statin‐associated immune‐mediated necrotizing myositis with histological features of inclusion body myositis

Rheumatology & Autoimmunity, 2023
Introduction Statin‐associated immune‐mediated necrotizing myositis (IMNM) is a rare but distinct idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) that requires early recognition and intervention to prevent irreversible muscle damage. It is typically characterized

The effects of an intronic polymorphism in TOMM40 and APOE genotypes in sporadic inclusion body myositis. [PDF]

, 2015
A previous study showed that, in carriers of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype ε3/ε3 or ε3/ε4, the presence of a very long (VL) polyT repeat allele in "translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 40" (TOMM40) was less frequent in patients with ...
