We have replicated the findings of Alvarado-Cardenas et al. in our cohort of anti-HMGCR myositis patients, confirming the high specificity and sensibility of the rat liver IF pattern, especially when compared to the previously reported HEp-2 anti-HMGCR pattern. Nonetheless, we agree on the value of this finding in easing the diagnosis of statin-associated myositis in standard laboratory settings.

Abstract

We have replicated the findings of Alvarado-Cardenas et al. in our cohort of anti-HMGCR myositis patients, confirming the high specificity and sensibility of the rat liver IF pattern, especially when compared to the previously reported HEp-2 anti-HMGCR pattern. Nonetheless, we agree on the value of this finding in easing the diagnosis of statin-associated myositis in standard laboratory settings.
