Calcinosis in adult dermatomyositis: Association with anti-NXP2 antibody and a distinct anatomical distribution
Calcinosis in adult dermatomyositis is incompletely characterised. In a cohort of 191 patients, calcinosis was uncommon but strongly associated with anti-NXP2 antibodies and showed a consistent anatomical distribution affecting the thighs and buttocks. Recognition of this phenotype may aid clinical identification and future phenotypic stratification.
