Clinical Significance
ANA Multiplex, Panel 1 with Reflexes - This panel can be helpful in the diagnosis of autoimmune rheumatic diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, Sjogren syndrome, mixed connective tissue disease, and rheumatoid arthritis. All specimens are screened for antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) with multiplex immunoassay. This approach simultaneously detects antibodies to dsDNA, chromatin, ribosomal protein, SSA, SSB, Smith (Sm), Sm/RNP, RNP, Scl-70, Jo-1, and centromere B. A positive result indicates the presence of at least 1 of these antibodies; a negative result indicates that none of the component antibodies were ...
