Anti-Ro52/TRIM21 serological subsets identify differential clinical and laboratory parameters.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Anti-Ro52/tripartite motif-containing protein 21 (TRIM21) IgG is one of the most common autoantibodies found in systemic autoimmune diseases and is typically found in conjunction with anti-Ro60 and/or anti-La. A retrospective, cross-sectional study was undertaken to examine the clinical and laboratory features of two serological subsets: patients with anti-Ro52/TRIM21 autoantibodies in the absence of anti-Ro60 and anti-La (isolated anti-Ro52/TRIM21) and patients with anti-Ro52/TRIM21 in the presence of anti-Ro60 and/or anti-La.

Methods

Over a 12-month period, patients tested positive for anti-Ro52/TRIM21 via line immunoassay (LIA) at the Westmead Hospital (Australia) immunopathology laboratory were included. The presence of anti-Ro60 and/or anti-La via same LIA
