►可见于系统性硬化症患者(48)。
►若临床疑似系统性硬化症,推荐后续检测抗U3RNP/核纤蛋白(fibrillarin)抗体。该抗原包含在疾病特异性免疫检测试剂中(例如,系统性硬化症谱*)(48)。
►若经免疫检测法确认有抗U3RNP/核纤蛋白(fibrillarin)抗体反应性,则其与弥散性系统性硬化症临床相关,且提示更易罹患肺动脉高压、骨骼肌疾病、严重心脏受累、胃肠动力障碍等(23,48-50)。
在系统性硬化症患者中,抗U3RNP/核纤蛋白(fibrillarin)抗体在非裔美国人、拉丁裔美国人中最为常见(48,49,51)。
注:尽管已有商品化的抗U3RNP/核纤蛋白(fibrillarin)抗体免疫检测试剂,但其低敏感性等技术问题应纳入考量(24)。

► Found in patients with SSc (48)
► If SSc is clinically suspected, it is recommended to perform a follow-up test for anti-U3RNP/fibrillarin antibodies; the antigen is included in disease specific immunoassays (i.e., SSc profile*) (48)
► If confirmed as anti-U3RNP/fibrillarin reactivity by immunoassay, the clinical association is with diffuse SSc, increased incidence of pulmonary arterial hypertension, skeletal muscle disease, severe cardiac involvement, and gastrointestinal dysmotility (23, 48–50)
► Among SSc patients, anti-U3RNP/fibrillarin antibodies are most commonly found in African American and Latin American patients (48, 49, 51)
Notes: Although some anti-U3RNP/fibrillarin immunoassays are commercially available, technical issues relating to the limited sensitivity of these immunoassays should be taken into consideration (24).
*Availability of the inflammatory myopathy profile, the SSc profile and the (extended) liver profile may be limited to specialty clinical laboratories.
