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.
