In-depth proteomic analysis of juvenile dermatomyositis serum reveals protein expression associated with muscle-specific autoantibodies

Rheumatology (Oxford)Published Mechanistic study

Authors' conclusion

Although JDM serum contains many proteins commonly altered in MSAs, the pathways associated with clinical features of MSAs differ based on protein accumulation.

Study context

Population
Patients with JDM positive for muscle-specific autoantibodies (MSAs), and healthy controls
Participants
