Anti-MDA5 Antibodies in a Large Mediterranean Population of Adults with Dermatomyositis

Abstract: A new myositis-specific autoantibody directed against melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (anti-MDA5) has been described in patients with dermatomyositis (DM). We report the clinical characteristics of patients with anti-MDA5 in a large Mediterranean cohort of DM patients from a single center, and analyze the feasibility of detecting this autoantibody in patient sera using new assays with commercially available recombinant MDA5. The study included 117 white adult patients with DM, 15 (13%) of them class… Show more

“…The anti-MDA5 autoantibodies are specific for dermatomyositis, and may be found in 7-13% of adult dermatomyositis patients (table 2) [34][35][36]. Clinically significant myositis is present in only 20% of patients with anti-MDA5 autoantibodies [37].…”

“…43,[45][46][47][48] Interestingly, these characteristics of anti-MDA5-positive patients appear not to be the same in American and European cohorts. [49][50][51][52] The frequency of anti-MDA5 antibodies in American and European cohorts (5-10% in adult DM) is lower than in Asian cohorts. Furthermore, anti-MDA5 antibodies are associated with ILD (60-70%) but not with RP-ILD, in American and European cohorts.…”

“…Zaobserwowano także zależność pomiędzy obecnością tych przeciwciał a zespołem objawów śluzówkowo-skórnych polegającym na tworzeniu się owrzodzeń i/lub bolesnych grudek na dłoniach oraz owrzodzeń błony śluzowej jamy ustnej [33]. Ze względu na silny związek obecności przeciwciał anty-MDA5 z ILD mogą one służyć jako przydatny biomarker oceny ryzyka wystąpienia zajęcia płuc u osób bez przeciwciał antysyntetazowych [34]. [35,36].…”
