Resumen
Background: The presence of Antinuclear antibodies/Dense Fine Speckled 70 (ANA/DFS70) has been proposed as a negative biomarker in the process of exclusion of systemic autoimmune/autoinflammatory rheumatic diseases (SARD). The purpose was to evaluate and characterize ANA/DFS70 patients in a large Colombian population with SARD; rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Psoriasis (PsO), Undifferentiated connective tissue disease (UCTD), first-degree relatives of (FDR), and healthy controls (HC). Methods: ANA determination was performed using indirect immunofluorescence. Samples with positive dense fine granular staining in the nucleoplasm of the interphase cell (AC2) fluorescence were confirmed with CytoBead/ANA and ANA/modified (Knocked out for the PSPI1 gen). Results: 530 mestizo Colombian participants were included. ANA/DFS70 antibody positivity in the whole group was 2.3%, and 0.8% in SARD; no RA patients were positive. ANA/DFS70 positives in UCTD were three women; the average time of evolution of the disease was 9.4 years. The most frequent clinical findings were arthralgias, non-erosive arthritis, and Raynaud’s phenomenon. The PsO positive was a woman with C-reactive protein (CRP) positivity and a negative erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) without any other positive autoantibody or extracutaneous manifestation. FDR and HC positives were 7/8 women. All were negative for other autoantibodies. Conclusions: ANA/DFS70 autoantibodies were present in Colombian patients with SARD at a shallow frequency, they were more prevalent in healthy individuals. © 2022 by the authors.
