Evaluation of classical and novel autoantibodies for the diagnosis of Primary Biliary Cholangitis-Autoimmune Hepatitis Overlap Syndrome (PBC-AIH OS).

Consistent with previous findings, the presence of anti-dsDNA by CLIFT is associated with PBC-AIH OS. Contrary to previous reports, anti-p53 was not associated with PBC-AIH OS. Our comprehensive evaluation of various classical and novel autoantibody biomarkers including Ro52/TRIM21, anti-p53, anti-KLHL-12 and anti-HK-1 were not significantly associated with PBC-AIH OS. Our findings highlight the ongoing need for the research and development of new autoantibody biomarkers to aid in the diagnosis of PBC-AIH OS.
