Myositis Profile Extended IgG 16 Antigens Test
Comprehensive Autoimmune Muscle Disease Testing
The Myositis Profile Extended IgG 16 Antigens Test represents a cutting-edge diagnostic approach for identifying autoimmune muscle disorders. This comprehensive panel utilizes advanced immunoblot technology to detect 16 specific autoantibodies associated with inflammatory myopathies, providing rheumatologists with critical information for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
What This Test Measures and Detects
This sophisticated diagnostic panel evaluates IgG antibodies against 16 specific antigens crucial for identifying various forms of myositis:
- Mi-2α and Mi-2β: Associated with classic dermatomyositis
- TIF1γ: Linked to cancer-associated myositis
- MDA5: Indicates rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease
- NXP2: Associated with calcinosis and severe disease
- SAE1: Dermatomyositis with characteristic skin findings
- Ku, PM-Scl 100, PM-Scl 75: Overlap syndromes
- Jo-1, SRP, PL-7, PL-12, EJ, OJ: Antisynthetase syndrome markers
- Ro-52: Frequently co-occurs with other myositis antibodies
