Abstract: INTRODUCTION Necrotizing autoimmune myopathy (NAM) is strongly associated with pathognomonic autoantibodies targeting 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR) or signal recognition particle (SRP), whose levels in turn are correlated with serum creatine kinase (CK) and necrosis. Thus,… read more here.
