Abstract: Autoantibodies against 3‑hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGCR) and the signal recognition particle (SRP) are representative antibodies causing immune-mediated necrotizing myopathies (IMNM), called as anti-HMGCR and anti-SRP myopathies, respectively. Here, we analyzed the differences in routine blood test… read more here.

Abstract: Anti-HMGCR (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase) myopathy is an immune-mediated necrotising myopathy. Atypical presentations hinder its recognition and its prompt treatment. We present two patients with atypical clinical or pathological features. A 45-year-old woman had an… read more here.
