Article Abstract
This study confirms the observation and description of anti-HMGCR aAb associated with NAM. The majority of patients were statin na�ve and needed prolonged treatments. Some patients had a dystrophic-like presentation. Anti-HMGR aAb titers correlated with CK levels and muscle strength, suggesting their pathogenic role.
