Recently, a new subset of myositis, referred to as immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM), has been identified [47]; this subset of myositis is pathologically characterized by marked muscle fiber necrosis and regeneration with minimal inflammatory infiltrates and serologically by anti-signal recognition particle (anti-SRP) or anti-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (anti-HMGCR) antibodies. The gene discussed is UCN2; the disease is myositis disease.
