The Myositis Autoantibody Phenotypes of the Juvenile Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies
Medicine 92:223-243, Rider, L.,et al, 2013
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
In the present study, of 430 patients enrolled in a nationwide registry study who had serum tested for myositis autoantibodies, 374 had either a single specific MSA (n=253) or no identified MSA (n=121) and were the subject of the present report. We conclude that juvenile myositis is a heterogeneous group of illnesses with distinct autoantibody phenotypes defined by varying clinical and demographic characteristics, laboratory features, and outcomes.
