Development of differential diagnostic models for distinguishing between limb-girdle muscular dystrophy and idiopathic inflammatory myopathy
We developed two practical differential diagnosis models for LGMD and IIM based on the analysis of four accessible indicators, including the age of onset, cervical flexor weakness, the ratio of synchronous Mb/CK values and diffuse MHC-I expression. Further studies with larger samples are needed to refine the predictive efficiency of the differential diagnostic models.
