Abstract:ObjectiveAnti‐mitochondrial antibodies (AMAs) are associated with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs). We aimed to summarize the clinicopathological characteristics, assess circulating cell‐free mitochondrial DNA (ccf‐mtDNA), and circulating cell‐free nuclear DNA (ccf‐nDNA) in AMA‐associated IIMs.MethodsMedical records of 37 IIMs patients with AMAs were reviewed. Circulating cell‐free mtDNA and ccf‐nDNA levels in sera from IIMs patients with AMAs (n = 21), disease controls (n = 66) and healthy controls (… Show more
