Indian Journal of Rheumatology, 2021 Proximal muscle weakness in children, as well as adults, can be the presenting feature of a wide range of diseases including but not limited to the idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, muscle dystrophies, metabolic, endocrine, and drug-induced myopathies. Certain diagnostic clues such as selective muscle involvement in inherited dystrophies, cramping on

Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 2012 To review recent advances in our understanding of autoantibodies associated with dermatomyositis and the autoimmune necrotizing myopathies.Autoantibodies preferentially associated with dermatomyositis include those recognizing Mi-2, MDA5, TIF1γ, and NXP-2. Each of these is associated with a distinct clinical phenotype.
