There have been few reports on antibodies to some DNA mismatch repair enzymes (MMREs) in patients with IIMs. This study was undertaken to determine the frequencies and clinical associations of antibodies to 7 types of MMREs (MLH1, MLH3, MSH2, MSH3, MSH6, PMS1, and PMS2) in patients with IIMs and other systemic autoimmune diseases.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Clinical data and serum samples were collected from 239 Japanese patients with IIMs (147 with adult dermatomyositis, 13 with juvenile dermatomyositis, 57 with polymyositis, and 22 with myositis overlap syndrome). One hundred patients with other diseases, including 40 with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), were assessed as disease controls. The presence of anti\u2010MMRE antibodies in serum was examined by immunoprecipitation, enzyme\u2010linked immunosorbent assay, and immunoprecipitation\/Western blotting.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Anti\u2010MMRE antibodies were found in 15 patients with IIMs and 3 patients with SLE.

Nine IIM patients with anti\u2010MMREs also had other MSAs and their associated clinical features.
