Immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM), a type of inflammatory myopathy, is associated with anti-SRP or anti-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (anti-HMGCR) antibodies, with statin use potentially inducing statin-associated IMNM (SAIMNM) due to HMGCR targeting. This evidence concerns the gene HMGCR and myopathy.
