Presymptomatic myositis in patients with antisynthetase syndrome associated with interstitial lung disease: A prospective small case series clinical study

Anti-aminoacyl tRNA synthetases (ARS) are a group of antibod - ies against cytoplasmic amino acid-charging enzymes. 1– 3 Anti-synthetase syndrome (ASS) manifests as myositis, arthritis, interstitial lung disease (ILD), Raynaud phenomenon, “mechanic's hand”, and fever
