Objective Gain‐of‐function variants in IDH1 and IDH2 are enriched among individuals with coexisting myeloid neoplasms and autoimmune diseases. However, the association between IDH1/IDH2 variants and rheumatic diseases independent of hematologic neoplasms remains unclear. We investigated the association between rare gain‐of‐function and loss‐of‐function

Acute Onset Polymyositis after Prolactinoma Extirpation
Hyperprolactinemia has been related to autoimmune diseases. Herein, we describe a case of a female with a prolactin producer pituitary macroadenoma who developed severe polymyositis one month after its removal. The patient had very high levels of CPK and

Anti‐cN1A autoantibodies are helpful for diagnosing inclusion body myositis (IBM). We have developed an immunofluorescence assay based on the perinuclear accumulation of GFP‐cN1A. The analysis of patient sera indicated that this assay shows a higher sensitivity for anti‐cN1A in IBM compared to alternative assays, without loss of specificity.
