Popis: Myositis-specific autoantibodies, such as anti-transcription intermediary factor (TIF) 1-γ and anti-aminoacyl transfer RNA synthetase antibodies, are exclusive to idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs). Recently, autoantibodies to DNA mismatch repair enzymes (MMREs) were identified in IIMs [1-3], but little is known about the significance of these antibodies in IIMs. Here, we present the first case of juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) with autoantibodies mono-specific to MMREs.An 11-year-old Japanese [...]
