Autoantibodies targeting intracellular proteins involved in key processes are detected in
patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies. These myositisspecific autoantibodies
have been increasingly demonstrated to correlate with distinct clinical phenotypes within the
myositis spectrum. This review highlights the clinical associations of the myositisspecific
autoantibodies, with particular attention to the recently identified and characterized novel
myositis autoantibodies: p155/140, p140 (MJ), CADM-140 (MDA5), SAE, and 200/100.
