Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medicine and biology, and specifically relates to a molecular marker for diagnosing idiopathic inflammatory myopathy and its application. Background technique
[0002] Idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (Idiopathic inflammatory myopathy, IIM) is a group of rare heterogeneous autoimmune diseases with proximal muscle weakness, abnormal serum muscle enzymes, inflammatory infiltration of skeletal muscle and extramuscular involvement as the main clinical manifestations. Including polymyositis (polymyositis, PM), dermatomyositis (dermatomyositis, DM) and inclusion body myositis (inclusion body myositis, IBM)[ 1 ]. Autoantibodies of IIM include myositis-specific autoantibodies (MSAs) and myositis-associated autoantibodies (MAAs), which can be found in 60-80% of IIM patients. has significant value [ 2 , 3 ]. MSAs are associated with specific clinical syndromes and are only seen in IIM; whereas MAAs can be foun...
