Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on anti-synthetase syndrome (ASSD), a rare autoimmune disease, aiming to identify clinical and lab features for potential classification criteria.
- - Researchers analyzed data from 948 ASSD patients and 1077 control subjects, finding that certain symptoms like arthritis and specific autoantibodies were more common in ASSD cases.
- - The findings will assist clinicians in diagnosing ASSD and contribute to creating more standardized, data-driven classification criteria for the syndrome.
: The presence of the rs35705950 variant in the gene promoter is a critical genetic risk factor in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). It has been associated with usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) in several interstitial lung diseases (ILDs). In antisynthetase syndrome (ASSD), most high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) patterns are inflammatory, but up to 13% have UIP, leading to a worse prognosis.

Methods: Patients with ILD-ASSD who were positive for one of the following autoantibodies: anti-Jo1, anti-PL7, anti-PL12, and anti-EJ were included. Clinical manifestations, CPK levels, pulmonary function tests, and HCRT assessments were prospectively collected according to the Goh index.
