To improve our ability to monitor DM disease activity longitudinally, especially in the presence of immunomodulating agents, we prospectively evaluated whether interferon (IFN)\u2013dependent peripheral blood gene and chemokine signatures could serve as sensitive and responsive biomarkers for change in disease activity in adult and juvenile DM.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Peripheral blood and clinical data were collected from 51 patients with juvenile or adult DM prospectively over 2 study visits. We performed disease activity measurements and calculated whole\u2010blood type I IFN gene and chemokine scores. We also measured serum levels of other proinflammatory cytokines, including interleukin\u20106 (IL\u20106).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Changes in juvenile and adult DM global disease activity correlated positively and significantly with changes in the type I IFN gene score before adjustment for medication use (r = 0.33, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.023) and with changes in the IFN chemokine score before and after adjustment for medication use (r = 0.53, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001 and r = 0.50, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001, respectively).
