Anti-Mi-2 antibodies are found in 10-20% of adult dermatomyositis (DM) and <10% of JDM. They are associated with classic DM features: mild to moderate weakness with shawl rash, heliotrope rash, V-sign, Gottron’ s papules and have good response to therapy, with lower incidence of cancer compared to Mi-2 negative DM.
Reference Values
Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

Day(s) Performed
Outlines the days the test is performed. This field reflects the day that the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means that assays are performed multiple times during the day.
